The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild sells 1.3 million units

Nintendo has announced that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild sold over 1.3 million units.

That total includes more than 925,000 units sold for Nintendo Switch and nearly 460,000 units sold for the Wii U console. That means that Nintendo sold more of this game for Nintendo Switch than it sold Nintendo Switch systems, for an attach rate of more than 100 percent.

The publisher speculates that this may be attributed to people who purchased both a limited edition of the game to collect and a second version to play.

The sales figure makes The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild the fastest-selling Nintendo launch game of all time, as well as the fastest-selling game ever in The Legend of Zelda series.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was released for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Wii U on March 3.
