GN Version 5.0

We've known for awhile now that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was gunning for the top-spot when it came to Zelda sales in Japan, and now with this week's sales data, we have indisputable proof. Zelda: Breath of the Wild has not climbed the entire mountain of Zelda games, and is the best-selling franchise entry in Japan.

[NSW] The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild # (Nintendo) {2017.03.03} (¥6.980) - 1,099,210
[WIU] The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Nintendo) {2017.03.03} (¥6.980) - 159,401

Total - 1,258,611

As you might notice, the figures above don't even include digital sales. Hopefully Nintendo gives us an update on total sales in their next financial report.
