Nintendo has confirmed March 26, 2027 as the release date for its upcoming live-action The Legend of Zelda film.
The confirmation came through the newly launched Nintendo Today! app, revealed during the March 2025 Nintendo Direct. No additional details about the movie were provided.
Shigeru Miyamoto, the iconic Nintendo creator, shared this news as a surprise announcement during the showcase. This comprehensive mobile application offers numerous benefits for dedicated Nintendo fans.
The app serves as a centralized hub for Nintendo content, functioning as both a daily calendar and news feed to deliver real-time updates directly to players. Miyamoto explained that following next week's Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation, fans can use the app to stay updated with new information arriving regularly.
The Zelda movie announcement has already generated significant buzz, likely driving many fans to download the app in anticipation of future major reveals. Notably, the app broke this Zelda news before Nintendo's official social media channels.
Nintendo initially announced the partnership with Sony Pictures to produce a live-action Zelda movie in November 2023. The project will be directed by Wes Ball (known for The Maze Runner and Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes), with production credits going to Avi Arad and Miyamoto.
Details about the film remain scarce, though Ball has described his vision for the project as "live action Miyazaki," paying homage to the legendary Studio Ghibli filmmaker. The director emphasizes his commitment to creating a serious, realistic adaptation that avoids extensive use of motion capture technology.
