 Pokmon Legends: Z-A is the biggest physical game launch in the US since the 
release of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom in 2023. 

That's according to Circana senior director Mat Piscatella, who wrote on 
BlueSky (via GamesRadar ) that the latest Pokmon entry had a hugely 
successful launch week in both physical units and dollar sales, surpassing 
Tears of the Kingdom . 

" Pokmon Legends: Z-A had a massive US launch at retail," Piscatella said. 

"Launch week physical unit and dollar sales of Pokmon Legends: Z-A were the 
biggest for a new physical video game launch since The Legend of Zelda: Tears 
of the Kingdom back in May of 2023." 

Piscatella also confirmed that this does not include physical sales made from 
the latest Nintendo Switch 2 bundle , which includes a digital code for 
Legends: Z-A . 

The Circana analyst didn't provide any specific numbers, but last week, 
Nintendo announced in a press release (via IGN ) that Pokmon Legends: Z-A had 
sold 5.8 million copies after a week, which also included digital copies. 

In comparison, Tears of the Kingdom sold 10 million copies worldwide in its 
first three days , becoming the fastest-selling game in the history of the 
Legend of Zelda series. 

In TechRadar Gaming's Pokmon Legends: Z-A review , Hamish Hector called the 
game "a mega evolution for the franchise". 

 Pokmon Legends: Z-A is now available on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 
2 .
