The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom arrives on May 12, 2023

[Thugnificent]

Looking forward to playing this. Really enjoyed the first one, the only minor annoyance for me was breakable weapons.

Anyone knows if this will also have breakable weapons too? At the very least they should add a weapon repair system if there are breakable weapons.

Oh man... Loved the new trailer !!! I have finished BOTW 3 times, first on the WII U and then twice on the switch and every single time it was like playing a different game al together.

Cant wait for for May next year.

 

[NaNoW]

Fantastic...hyped for this. First one was incredible, one of the best games I have ever played.

Going back to "Tears of the Kingdom," I'm curious if you think it lived up to its predecessor, "Breath of the Wild." Both games introduced so many innovations in the open-world genre, but that verticality in "Tears of the Kingdom" you mentioned was definitely a game-changer.
Also, even though this thread is a bit older, I want to say that the resourcefulness of Zelda games doesn't fade. Take cooking in "Breath of the Wild," for example. If you ever find yourself lost in Hyrule, those simple BotW food making tips can be a life-saver. They're not just handy for newcomers; even seasoned players can find something valuable in there.
Looking forward to your thoughts on how "Tears of the Kingdom" holds up and whether you're still finding new things to enjoy in these expansive Zelda titles!

Bring me the updated physical + digital numbers first

Something something front loaded

To put things into perspective, 4 months since launch, TOTK has probably already surpassed this figure, and at fooooll price (excluding retailer discounts that Nintendo has no association with)

1. Digital sales on the Nintendo Switch have risen considerably since the console's launch. They can't be ignored, and NPD data doesn't factor them.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Not sure what gotcha you're looking for, but that 19.5 million units sales figure does factor digital sales. It's the NPD charts that don't. Totally different things.

Secondly, the question was regarding TOTK's sales vs Hogwarts Legacy's. We know TOTK sold 18 million copies within days, while Hogwarts Legacy sold 15 million 3 months after launch. These are global sales figures, btw (incl. both physical and digital).

So, which game sold more, then, math teacher?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[iampasha]

ha ha

Not sure what gotcha you're looking for

Oh, don't worry. I'll spell it out for you like I always have to.

The ASSumption from CerebralTiger was that ToTK would've "already surpassed" Cyberpunk's sales and it failed to do it spectacularly HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Another ASSumption from CerebralTiger was digital sales being "significant" and now we're learning that the combined physical AND digital sales in 4 months worlwide including bundled sales, are a measly 1 million in 4 months. YIKES!

Someone also downplayed Cyberpunk's sales as being "front loaded" and look how this sh*t show turned out LMFAOOOOO

Lastly, the Hogwarts figures are from May 2023. It's November now. Wake up, CerebralTiger. All your ASSumptions already fell flat on your face

 

[iampasha]

jajajajajaja nuem fuendo xdd

 

[CerebralTiger]

The ASSumption from CerebralTiger was that ToTK would've "already surpassed" Cyberpunk's sales and it failed to do it spectacularly HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Aaj nahi tou kal, it's a foregone conclusion. Besides, Cyberpunk 2077 has readily been sold for as low as $10 physical and $20 digital. Yikes!

Another ASSumption from CerebralTiger was digital sales being "significant" and now we're learning that the combined physical AND digital sales in 4 months worlwide including bundled sales, are a measly 1 million in 4 months. YIKES!

A financial quarter is comprised of 3 months. The previous figure of 18 million was as of June 30 and the updated figure is as of September 30. Over a million in 3 months is great!

The 18 million stat for TOTK is from June. Go figure

 

[Necrokiller]

Aaj nahi tou kal, it's a foregone conclusion.

Like the foregone conclusion of BoTW outselling Witchaaaaa 3? Yikes

Front loaded AF still

Both CDPR IPs putting Zelda back in their place

 

[CerebralTiger]

Like the foregone conclusion of BoTW outselling Witchaaaaa 3? Yikes

The foregone conclusion of Mario Kart 8 outselling Witchaaa 3

Both CDPR IPs putting Zelda back in their place

BOTW outsold Cyberjunk, as will TOTK. Heck, Pokemon Scarlet/Violet, despite its troubled launch, is on track to outsell it

 

[Necrokiller]

Witcha 3 + Cyberpunk outsold BoTW and ToTK COMBINED. HAHAHAHAHAHHAA

 

[CerebralTiger]

Mario Kart 8D + TOTK outsold WItcha 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 combined. Nintendo wins HAHAHAHAHAHA

Also, nearly 133 million units of the Nintendo Switch sold. Inane, right?

 

[Necrokiller]

CDPR open world games outsold Zelda open world games....CDPR wins. Works for me.

 

[CerebralTiger]

That sweeping statement is wrong too, as BOTW outsold Cyberpunk 2077, as will TOTK eventually

 

[Necrokiller]

That sweeping statement is wrong too, as BOTW outsold Cyberpunk 2077, as will TOTK eventually

Only thing getting swept is BoTW + TOTK by Witchaaa 3 + Cyberpunk 2077

Oh wait, last we heard Witchaaa 3 alone was over 50 million so maybe we don't even need to add Cyberpunk's sales hahahahaha

 

[CerebralTiger]

Cyberpunk's sales get beaten either way

 

[Necrokiller]

Whichever Zelda you bring up, CDPR has an IP that beats it

 

[Necrokiller]

Somebody was downplaying Cyberpunk's sales figures calling them frontloooooooaded. What a slap in their face HAHAHAHAHAHAH
