“On Friday alone, we sold 100,000 copies of Zelda, including 80,000 pre-orders. This is a historic level for Fnac”, explains to “Figaro” Charlotte Massicault, multimedia and gaming director of the cultural distributor. “Saturday evening, we were at 117,000 sales and we crossed 120,000 on Sunday via our website,” continues the manager. Another reason for satisfaction for Fnac, Zelda fans came out with a basket filled with the game, the official controller, the carrying bag, the Switch console in the colors of the game, the collectors’ editions…
Risks of stock shortages
The gaming director warns, however, that the game risks being out of stock at several distributors, including Fnac, by the end of May. “Nintendo is doing its best but we must expect difficulties,” she warns. Since the beginning of the year, the Japanese group had already had to revise upwards several times the quantities to be produced for the French market, as the level of pre-orders has continued to climb to reach record volumes for a Switch game.
The excellent critical feedback on the game, as well as the rain of viral videos that have invaded social networks since Friday, suggest that the level of sales of “Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom” will remain strong in the weeks to come. According to expert opinion, the game should easily rise to the top of the ranking of the best-selling games of 2023.
