## Summary

Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa said *The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time* is “off to a great start”, but the company has not yet given sales figures. The comment came during a briefing on falling Switch 2 hardware sales and offers a positive sign for Nintendo ahead of the holiday season.

Switch 2 sales were down 37% year on year, following a pre-price-change sales spike in Japan and advance purchasing and bundles overseas. Nintendo said its Zelda 40th Anniversary console helped boost sales in several regions. In the UK, the game had the second-biggest physical launch in the series, ahead of *Breath of the Wild* but behind *Tears of the Kingdom*; Nintendo is maintaining its forecast of 16 million console sales for the fiscal year.
