Nintendo just released the remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for Switch 2, and the themed console that Nintendo launched with the game has, perhaps unsurprisingly, sold incredibly well.
Circana’s Mat Piscatella has shared new data that confirms that the Switch 2 just had its best sales week of 2026 so far, based on dollar sales, thanks to the 40th anniversary console. The $520 console launched on October 29, and Circana’s reporting period for the week ended on October 31.
The special edition console sports a geometric design inspired by the Zelda series, with a large Triforce symbol on the dock. The accompanying Joy-Cons feature the game’s classic green and gold color scheme, as well as specific designs based on the RPG series.
The system does not include a copy of the game, which launched November 5, and costs $60 digitally and $70 on a physical cartridge.
Sales of the 40th anniversary console helped increase total U.S. hardware spending for the week by 81% compared to the same week in 2025.
The Ocarina of Time remake was a huge critical success, earning a 9/10 rating here on GameSpot. It is the highest-rated game of 2026 so far. Nintendo, however, has not revealed any sales figures for the game.
