The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening was released just last Friday, and the game has already managed to become the fastest-selling Nintendo Switch title of the year; surpassing
Super Mario Maker 2, which is the previous record holder.
Not only did the recently released
The Legend of Zelda title managed to become the fastest-selling title on the Nintendo Switch, but it has also dethroned Gearbox Software's
Borderlands 3 in the
United Kingdom sales charts for the week ending on the 21st of September.
Prior to the release of
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, the biggest launch on Nintendo Switch, specifically for a title in
The Legend of Zelda series was
Breath of the Wild — which is, unsurprisingly, still being featured in the UK charts; in the 17th position, to be more precise.
It'll be definitely interesting to see how well
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening keeps doing — in regards to sales in the United Kingdom and the rest of the world — in the upcoming weeks; considering all the positivie attention the title's been getting since it released, chances are that we'll still see it in the top position next week.
