Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is getting (partial) blame for the UK's record inflation
Zelda gets her very own 'Beyonce Effect'

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the🥃 Kingdom has been cited as a notable source ofꦿ💦 monetary inflation in the UK.
Inflation figures published by the UK's Office for National Statistics today confirmed that rates would stay high, and while several factors far beyond my tiny mind have contributed to that, one of those is thought to be the new Ze🦹lda game. BBC economics editor Faisal Islam tweeted thi⛎s morning citing HSBC, who suggest that "strength in computer games prices might have been partly due to a release of - aptly titled - 'Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom'."

While Zelda might be a factor, plenty of people aren't convinced that she's more important for UK inflation than things like Brexit or the recent actions of some of our elected officials. What we do know, however, is that Tears of the Kingdom was a massive sales success, becoming the fastest-selling game in the series' three-decade history. While the exact breakdown of sales isn't clear, the game spent a month at the top of national boxed charts, only being dethroned by another juggernaut, Diablo 4.
