The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom has officially surpassed 2 million units sold, according to Nintendo's latest financial results. The game launched on September 26, 2024 and reached 2.58 million units sold within its first 5 days on the market.
This is a solid start for the new Zelda title, which features Princess Zelda as the main playable character for the first time in the series. While it's not quite at the level of blockbusters like Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, the sales figures are in line with other recent 2D Zelda games like Link's Awakening, which sold 3.13 million units in its first 10 days.
The article notes that Echoes of Wisdom's sales will likely continue to grow over the holiday season and into 2025, potentially reaching the 5-6 million range that Link's Awakening has achieved. So while it may not be a record-breaking Zelda release, Echoes of Wisdom is still performing well and meeting Nintendo's expectations for the franchise.
