Nintendo has officially marked March 26, 2027 as the release date for its live-action Legend of Zelda movie.
The news surfaced through Nintendo's newly launched Today! app, first revealed during the March 2025 Nintendo Direct presentation. Beyond the premiere date, details about the film remain tightly under wraps.
Shigeru Miyamoto, the legendary game creator himself, surprised viewers with this announcement during the showcase's closing moments. The versatile app serves as Nintendo's centralized hub packed with exclusive perks for superfans.
A Daily Dose of Nintendo Magic
This all-in-one platform functions as both calendar and real-time newsfeed, delivering updates straight to players' pockets. Miyamoto demonstrated how the app will become essential following next week's Switch 2 Direct, with fresh content arriving regularly.
The Zelda movie revelation showcases the app's breaking news potential - notably beating Nintendo's own social media channels to the punch. Fans hungry for major announcements will likely flock to download it immediately.
From Concept to Silver Screen
First announced in November 2023 through a historic Nintendo-Sony Pictures partnership, the Zelda adaptation comes from director Wes Ball (known for The Maze Runner series) with Miyamoto and producer Avi Arad steering production.
Details remain scarce, but Ball's vision suggests something extraordinary. The filmmaker describes aiming for "live-action Miyazaki," drawing inspiration from Studio Ghibli's magical realism. Contrary to modern trends, Ball emphasizes practical effects over motion capture, striving for authenticity in this cinematic Hyrule.
As the countdown begins to March 2027, one burning question divides fans...
