Nintendo has officially confirmed the live-action Legend of Zelda movie will launch on March 26, 2027.
The announcement came through the newly unveiled Nintendo Today! app, revealed during Nintendo Direct March 2025. Gaming icon Shigeru Miyamoto surprised fans with this revelation as an end-of-showcase teaser.
A Dedicated Hub for Nintendo Fans
The Nintendo Today app serves as a comprehensive platform offering daily news updates and calendars specifically designed for Nintendo enthusiasts.
Miyamoto demonstrated how following next week's Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, fans can use the app to receive regular updates, with new content arriving daily.
Early Buzz Builds for Zelda Adaptation
Nintendo and Sony Pictures initially announced their collaboration on a live-action Zelda film back in November 2023. The project features Wes Ball (known for The Maze Runner trilogy) as director, with Avi Arad and Miyamoto himself serving as producers.
Director Wes Ball has drawn comparisons to legendary filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki's works, describing his vision as creating a "live-action Miyazaki" experience. He emphasizes delivering a serious interpretation of Hyrule while maintaining practical, grounded filmmaking approaches with minimal motion capture.
The Silent Hero Debate Continues
One of the most discussed elements remains whether Link should break his tradition of silence in this adaptation.
