Ocarina of Time remake is UK's best-selling physical game of 2026 so far
Early estimates put the Zelda remake ahead of Resident Evil Requiem and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, with first-week boxed sales about 35% above Breath of the Wild.
The remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the best-selling physical game in the UK in 2026 so far, according to early estimates reported by Christopher Dring of The Game Business. It places ahead of Resident Evil Requiem, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 and Crimson Desert.
Among Zelda titles released in the country, the remake's boxed launch ranks second, behind only The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
First-week physical sales for the remake are around 35% higher than the first seven days of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild across Switch and Wii U, according to the same estimates.
The figures cover physical copies only and are based on early estimates rather than final data. The original Ocarina of Time is nearly 30 years old, and Tears of the Kingdom arrived on a far larger Switch install base than Breath of the Wild did at the console's launch.
