Nintendo saw a big boost in revenue and operating profit in the first fiscal quarter ended June 30 thanks to the success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie and the popularity of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Tears of the Kingdom sold more than 18 million units after its launch in May through June 30, a tremendous result for the highly rated game on the Nintendo Switch. Tears of the Kingdom debuted on May 12, and it became the fastest-selling title in the history of the series.
