The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has reached another sales milestone and has sold 1 million copies at retail stores in France. A French news website, Lefigaro, initially shared the news. @Pierre485, a reputable X account that tracks video game sales, translated and posted the information detailing the title’s sales records.

The predecessor of the title, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild, did well in retail and digital sales. The entry sold over 392,207 physical units and 1.28 million digital copies. Furthermore, it is also stated that it’s likely that Nintendo Switch might surpass 8 million sales by next year.

Only five titles other than FIFA have crossed this threshold. 

  • Grand Theft Auto V
  • Call of Duty: Black Ops 3
