The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom continues to accumulate praise everywhere. And now it’s her turn to… the economists? Yes, and it is now that it has been revealed that the latest installment of the Link saga would have positively affected Japan’s Gross Domestic Product.
According to a report from the Japan Cabinet OfficeTears of the Kingdom would have contributed significantly to the economy of this country between the months of April and June 2023 (the game went on sale in May), increasing consumption income by 2.8% of semi-durable goods. These include clothing and entertainment; this despite the fact that general consumption in Japan fell by 0.5%.
Although the Cabinet Office report does not directly point to the new Zelda as responsible for this increase in the national economy, it does specify that the sale of video games is the main reason for this economic peak. Well, what other game came out between April and June that sold 18.5 MILLION COPIES? Well it wasn’t Redfallthat I assure you.
The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom is now available on Nintendo Switch.
