[Update:Ocarina of Time 3D released 27 days ago. The sales figures below are representative of the first 11 days of sales. Sorry for the error. -Ed]
TheLegend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3Dwas released 11 days ago, to the joy and delight of many fans both old and new. So many people have grown to love the citizens of Hyrule that it has sold over 283,000 copies, making it the second largest seller of the month on an individual platform in the United States. This news continues the trend ofZelda dominating all other gamessince it’s release.
What amazes me about this is not that a 3DS game has sold so well, but thatOcarina of Timeis a remake. The fact that a revamped Nintendo 64 game is still this popular after 13 years is incredible. Nintendo has not been shy aboutpromoting the gameorrewarding those who buy iteither. Overall they have done an incredible job of keeping Zelda alive, and I don’t imagine there will be a decline inOcarina of Timesales either, considering the (lack of) other games available for the 3DS at the moment.
