Nintendo has officially announced that the live-action adaptation of The Legend of Zelda will hit theaters on March 26, 2027. This exciting news broke through the newly launched Nintendo Today! app, unveiled during the Nintendo Direct in March 2025. While the announcement was light on details about the movie itself, it has certainly set the stage for what promises to be a highly anticipated film.
Shigeru Miyamoto, a legendary figure in the video game industry, shared this major update during the showcase. Alongside the movie news, he introduced the Nintendo Today! app, a comprehensive tool for Nintendo fans. This app is designed to serve as a daily calendar and a continuous news feed, delivering updates directly to users. Miyamoto highlighted that following the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, fans can use the app to stay updated, with new content being added daily.
The announcement of the The Legend of Zelda movie's release date has already sparked significant interest, encouraging fans to download the Nintendo Today! app in hopes of catching more groundbreaking news. It's noteworthy that the app was the first to break the news, even before Nintendo's official social media channels.
The project was initially announced in November 2023, a collaboration between Nintendo and Sony Pictures. Wes Ball, known for directing The Maze Runner and Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, will helm the film. Producers Avi Arad and Shigeru Miyamoto are also on board. While specifics about the movie remain under wraps, Ball has expressed his vision for the film to be a "live action Miyazaki," drawing inspiration from the renowned filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki, known for his work with Studio Ghibli and classics like My Neighbor Totoro, Howl's Moving Castle, and Spirited Away. Ball aims for a "serious" and "grounded" adaptation, with minimal use of motion capture technology.
