Nintendo promised news via its new Nintendo Today app, and it already delivered with an update on the live-action The Legend of Zelda movie. Sony and Nintendo announced plans to release the film on March 26, 2027.
Considering we’re two years out from that premiere—news of which comes after the initial announcement of the production back in November 2023—it should come as no surprise that there aren’t many other details to go on.
As previously reported, Shigeru Miyamoto is producing alongside Avi Arad, with The Maze Runner trilogy director Wes Ball attached to direct. We’ll have to stay tuned for info on the story, casting and more.
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom was the latest game in the series to drop following Tears of the Kingdom, the hugely successful sequel to the groundbreaking Switch debut Breath of the Wild.
Here’s how Nintendo describes The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom:
In this sequel to the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild game, you’ll decide your own path through the sprawling landscapes of Hyrule and the mysterious islands floating in the vast skies above. Can you harness the power of Link’s new abilities to fight back against the malevolent forces that threaten the kingdom?
