Nintendo has confirmed that the live-action The Legend of Zelda film will premiere on March 26, 2027.
The announcement was made via the newly launched Nintendo Today! app, introduced during the Nintendo Direct in March 2025. No further details about the movie were shared.
Video game icon Shigeru Miyamoto revealed the company’s latest news initiative as a surprise highlight during the presentation. This all-in-one mobile app offers a range of benefits for dedicated Nintendo enthusiasts.
This central hub for Nintendo updates acts as a daily calendar and news platform, delivering real-time information to fans. Miyamoto noted that, following the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct next week, users can access the Nintendo Today app for continuous updates, with fresh content arriving daily.
The early reveal of the Zelda movie release date is a major draw, likely spurring fans to download the app in anticipation of more significant announcements. Notably, Nintendo’s news app broke the Zelda movie news before the company’s own social media platforms.
Nintendo and Sony Pictures first announced the live-action The Legend of Zelda film in November 2023, with Wes Ball (The Maze Runner, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes) directing and Avi Arad alongside Shigeru Miyamoto producing.
Little is known about the film itself. Ball has expressed a vision for a "live-action Miyazaki," drawing inspiration from acclaimed filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki, known for Studio Ghibli classics like My Neighbor Totoro, Howl’s Moving Castle, and Spirited Away. Ball aims for a "serious" adaptation that feels authentic, emphasizing minimal use of motion capture to create a grounded cinematic experience.
