The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Holds Top Spot In UK Boxed Charts

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is going from strength to strength since it released earlier this month. Now despite the weeks passing, it is still comfortably holding top spot in the UK Boxed Charts.

Tears of the Kingdom is sitting at No.1 for the second week in a row despite a 73% drop in weekly sales. Its sales have made it the sixth best-selling Zelda game of all time in the UK. Similarly, its predecessor Breath of the Wild shows no signs of backing down at No.8. The release of its sequel has perhaps influenced its 21% sales increase.

Its hefty sales has made it overtake the much-loved Link’s Awakening on Nintendo Switch and Ocarina of Time 3D on the 3DS. As a result, it is already one of the best-selling Zelda games despite only being on sale for two weeks. More importantly, it shows no signs of slowing down. 

As for the rest of the games sitting on the Boxed Charts, they are perhaps suffering as a result of Tears of the Kingdom’s success. Reported by Games Industry. biz, the newest game to come onto the charts this week is LEGO 2K Drive. However, with it only sitting at No.7, it hasn’t been the biggest start for the game. 

It isn’t all bad news for the latest instalment in the LEGO franchise as they tend to be long-term sellers. It won’t be surprising if it continues to perform well over the upcoming weeks. “37% of LEGO 2K Drive’s physical sales were on PS5, 31% on Nintendo Switch, 18% on Xbox and 14% on PS4”, states the report.

Pokémon Scarlet has also made its way back onto the board thanks to a recent Amazon price promotion. As a result, it sits at 6th place with a 124% sales increase.

Last but not least, Zelda is rearing its head again at No.14 with Skyward Sword HD. 

The UK Boxed Charts are loving Tears of the Kingdom as much as its players so it remains to be seen what will knock it off top spot. What release do you think it will be?
