The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom supercharge the series as Switch Zeldas account for 40% of all sales

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

The Legend of Zelda has a legacy stretching back almost four decades, but the series is nowhere near ready for a mid-life crisis considering the Nintendo Switch entries account for 40% of all series sales.  

Nintendo released their fiscal year results just yesterday, where we received updated sales numbers for the Nintendo Switch itself (141.32 million units sold), alongside several Nintendo-published games. What's perhaps most notable from the data is that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has now sold over 33.5 million copies (Wii U numbers included), while its sequel Tears of the Kingdom sits pretty with 20.60 million copies sold in less than a year.
