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.<\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
