A few weeks ago, Nintendo announced that Zelda Legend Breath of the Wild 2 would miss its 2022 release date and would be postponed until spring 2023. This is a very frustrating thing for zelda fans, but just after the announcement of the ticket jump of Zelda Legends of Zelda 2, the sales of its first generation of works in the UK have increased significantly.
Chris Dring, from Gamesindustry.biz, said on his social media account that physical retail sales of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wilderness grew by 51% in the UK. It's shocking for a 5-year-old Nintendo first-party game with almost no discounts.
According to Gonintendo, within a week of the announcement of the delay in Zelda: Breath of the Wilderness 2, the first generation of works increased by 60% compared to the previous week, and the second week maintained this momentum, with sales up another 51%. It seems that many Switch players are taking advantage of the postponement of the sequel as a good opportunity to enter the classic work of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wilderness.
