Zelda: Link's Awakening tops the UK video games chart

The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening enters the latest UK video games chart from Ukie and GFK at No.1.

Nintendo’s remake of the classic 1993 Game Boy adventure, The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, has debuted at No.1 in this week’s UK video games chart. Link knocks last week’s chart-topper, Borderlands 3, down one position.

Gears 5 also drops two places, to No.4, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe races three places up to No.3. We suspect that last week’s release of the Nintendo Switch Lite gave the game a Triple Mushroom boost.

Elsewhere in the top ten, PES 2020, falls two spots to No.5 and there’s a re-entry for The Division 2, which jumps from No.20 to No.6.

Other new entries include Truck Driver at No.11 and the PlayStation 4 remaster of Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch at No.23. One sight we’re sad to see is Remedy Entertainment’s Control, which languishes at No.39 in its fourth week on the chart.
