The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time topped Japan’s physical game sales chart during its launch week, selling 537,041 copies on Nintendo Switch 2 between 2 and 8 November 2026. The ranking was reported by Nintendo Wire from figures published by Famitsu.
The remake finished well ahead of the second-place release, Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, which recorded 16,621 units. The gap between the two games was more than half a million copies, putting Nintendo’s Zelda release at the center of Japan’s physical market for the week.
Physical copies made up most of the reported sales
Nintendo of Japan recently said that Ocarina of Time had moved 810,000 units in the region. Nintendo Wire calculated that the Japanese physical result represents roughly 65% of that total so far. The figure highlights the continuing weight of boxed releases for a major Nintendo launch, even as publishers increasingly emphasize digital distribution.
The result is also notable because the chart covers only physical sales. It does not represent a full ranking of all Japanese purchases when digital sales are included. For players in the Philippines and Southeast Asia, the numbers therefore provide a view of demand for the Nintendo Switch 2 edition in Japan rather than a regional sales report or a Philippine availability announcement.
Nintendo titles dominate the top 10
Nintendo-published games occupied much of Famitsu’s list. Final Fantasy Resonance appeared separately in three versions: Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch. Combined, those three entries still did not reach half of Ocarina of Time’s debut figure, according to Nintendo Wire.

The ranking places the remake’s launch above every other physical release tracked by Famitsu for the period. The published figures also show that Nintendo Switch 2 software accounted for several of the chart’s leading positions, while PlayStation 5 and the original Nintendo Switch each appeared through Final Fantasy Resonance or other entries.
