I think that's arguable. I don't have the numbers but I'd be surprised if any Zelda bar BotW and maaaaybe TP can be considered to be 'big leagues' territory in most European countries.
I stand corrected then, but I thought for sure Spain>UK had the case for at least a few games.

Haven't bought LA yet, but this bodes well for those of us who like classic Zelda. More like this Nintendo, please and thanks!
Just with better art design lol

I still think that to be honest :P
I didn't buy it yet, I feel it is too short for a 60$ game.

And you have every right to feel that way.
However saying that Nintendo should have priced the game at 30$ is dumb as shown by those sales.
Pretty impresive that Nintendo is getting this success in Spain.
First time Links Awakening is released in spanish, I know that was a selling point for some of my friends. Ocarina of time for 3ds also got a big push becuase of that, smae with a link to the past for the GBA. The only untranslated zeldas that are left are zelda 1 and 2.
There were no Links Awakening's nor Dragon quests 11s at mediamarkt this weekend in Spain. Completely dissapeared from shelves.
It also hays it was their day without tax so the nintendo games, that are alreay 10 euros cheaper there than in any other store in Spain (apart from maybe some Carrefours) were 10 euros less from that.
Look at Astral chain and Fire Emblem how well they sold here also.
Anime in spain sells when its translated (though seems it also helps that the fanbase of this type of games is mostly on switch right now, years ago this people were playstation only, so the change has been drastic), too bad Atlus will never get the memo. Tokyo Mirage Sessions is going to fucking bomb. Persona 5 should have sold better. But here we are.

Niche game so the return on investment would be low. They translated it in French this time tho but that market is bigger.
The problem is that Nintendo isn't going to have a full period of releases from December, only Tokyo Mirage and Animal Crossing announced for the moment.
And with the success of Three Houses could be a good moment to spend some money on translations and marketing, even if they have low profits with the game.
Probably the TWEWY test was a failure and they don't want to repeat it.
