The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (TOTK) has taken the gaming world by storm. As the highly anticipated sequel to Breath of the Wild, it sold over 10 million copies in just three days—a massive achievement that clearly shows how much fans are loving it. With this level of success, TOTK is on track to surpass major titles like Hogwarts Legacy, which stands at 15 million, and God of War: Ragnarok at 11 million sales.

Released on May 12, TOTK builds on everything that made Breath of the Wild great. The game features an expansive map full of areas to explore and countless items to craft, enhancing your journey. Fans appreciate how it stays true to the series' roots while introducing exciting new elements.

Despite being Nintendo's priciest game at $70 and only available on one console, TOTK is already a sales juggernaut. It has sold a third of what Breath of the Wild has—currently at 29 million—and has quickly become the fastest-selling Zelda game, Nintendo Switch game, and Nintendo game in America. These are impressive milestones! It's even outselling other big titles like Horizon: Forbidden West, which has sold 8 million copies, and God of War: Ragnarok. It's also outperforming games available on multiple platforms, like Hogwarts Legacy.

What makes TOTK stand out is how fun it is to play without relying on battle passes, seasons, live service updates, or online multiplayer. This sets it apart from most games today. Nintendo's success with TOTK shows that there's still a strong desire for well-crafted single-player experiences. Breath of the Wild has remained incredibly popular since its 2017 release, and TOTK will likely enjoy the same lasting appeal.
