Topic: Zelda Tops UK Charts

[WindyMan]

Link does more in a day what Sam Fisher did in a week.  Looks like the CIA should get someone better.

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker was released in Europe on the GameCube's first birthday, May 3.  Just recently, the ELSPA (the European version of the NPD Group) showed off their top-20 UK game sales charts for the week ending that same May 3.

It will come as no surprise that Wind Waker conducted its way to the top of the sales on a single day, dethroning Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell and its 22 weeks on the chart.  No numbers were given, but it's safe to say that the game sold more than its fair share of copies.

It should also be noted that A Link to the Past on the GBA has been on the chart for 6 weeks, coming in this time around at number 19.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure it was the European GameCube's first birthday, not the second.  The US one just had its first birthday in november, and I remember the European Cube being after the US one.  Do I get a cookie?
