Nintendo just released The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time’s remake for Switch 2, and the themed console that Nintendo debuted with the game has, perhaps unsurprisingly, sold incredibly well.
Circana’s Mat Piscatella shared new data that confirms the Switch 2 just had its best sales week of 2026 so far, based on dollar sales, thanks to the 40th Anniversary Edition 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, along with specific designs based on the RPG series.
The system doesn’t include a copy of the game, which launched on November 5, and is priced at $60 digitally and $70 on a physical cartridge.
Sales of the 40th Anniversary Edition console helped lift total spending on hardware in the US for the week by 81% compared to the same week in 2025.
The Ocarina of Time remake has been a huge hit critically, scoring a 9/10 here at GameSpot. It’s the highest-rated game of 2026 so far. Nintendo has not revealed any sales numbers for the game, however.
