The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Is Still One Of The Top 20 Bestsellers Weekly In Japan For 2 Consecutive Years

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild recently celebrated its second anniversary yesterday. Although it’s been two years since the game first launched in Japan and other parts of the world, it’s still selling very strongly.

Famitsu estimates as of the 8th week of 2019, Breath of the Wild has sold close to 1.3 million copies on Nintendo Switch at retail in Japan. In addition, the game has remained on the Famitsu top 20 bestselling titles charts for every single week since it launched for two years. That’s very, very impressive!
