Sales worldwide exceeded 10 million copies in the first three days after the release. Of those, 2.24 million copies were sold in Japan, and on the day of the release, the "Zelda holiday phenomenon" occurred in various places. "Zelda holiday" and "Zelda vacation" became trending words on the Internet, and it has caused a stir in the world to the point that it can be called a social phenomenon. But has "The Legend of Zelda" always been highly popular? That's not the case. Its popularity has been sluggish, especially in Japan, and it has remained a mid-level title for a long time, so as a fan of the series, I was full of frustration. Why has Zelda become part of the super popular series? From here on, we will look back on the history of the Zelda series and talk about the reasons for its great revival with "Tears of the Kingdom," so please read to the end. *Sales data is taken from Famitsu, Wikipedia, and Nintendo's financial statements. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Table of Contents━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 0:00 Introduction1:14 1986-1993: Creating numerous legends2:34 1998: Release of masterpieces4:21 1999-2008: Repeated trial and error6:28 2009-2011: From big name to mid-level9:11 2013: Re-examining the obvious10:21 2014-2017: The beginning of the breakthrough15:06 2018-2021: A string of mid-level hits16:22 2023: Creating a new legend18:38 Overall Summary━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Amazon Link━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ■The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomhttps://amzn.to/3Iad3Lu ■The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wildhttps://amzn.to/3p3qiCk ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Blog article version━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ https://kentworld-blog.com/archives/z... ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Recommended videos━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ■[100 Hours Complete Review] The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom • [100 Hours Complete Review] The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom ■Fans' Choice!
