The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has dominated the Japanese market with a massive physical sales debut.

The latest remake moved approximately 537,000 physical units in its first week, accounting for the vast majority of Nintendo's reported 810,000 total sales. Digital sales contributed the remaining 273,000 units to the title's explosive launch.

This performance leaves other recent releases trailing significantly behind. Nintendo Switch Sports Resort and Rhythm Heaven Groove recorded much smaller figures of 16,621 and 8,793 sales respectively.

On the hardware front, the Switch 2 remains the market leader with 53,000 units sold this week. While the PlayStation 5 Digital Edition trails in individual unit sales, Sony maintains a higher total hardware volume when combining all PS5 configurations.
