The live-action adaptation of The Legend of Zelda by Nintendo has been pushed back from its initial release date of March 26, 2027, to a new release date on May 7, 2027. Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of Zelda for Nintendo, attributed this delay to production-related issues as stated in an official communication.
Miyamoto shared that due to production necessities, the live-action movie of The Legend of Zelda has been shifted from its initial release date to May 7, 2027. This means a slight delay compared to our earlier announcement, but this additional time will allow us to fine-tune the film and make it as exceptional as possible. We appreciate your understanding.
The cause behind the postponement wasn’t explicitly mentioned other than citing “manufacturing issues,” which, given the frequent hold-ups in Hollywood, isn’t particularly unexpected. The timeframe for this setback is relatively modest compared to other delays in the industry.
As a gaming enthusiast, I’m excited to share that I’ve learned this upcoming film is a joint venture between Nintendo and Sony Pictures, with the legendary Shigeru Miyamoto overseeing production. Interestingly, Marvel’s Avi Arad is also involved in producing this movie, making it a collaboration of gaming and comic book giants!
As a passionate gamer, I’m thrilled about the upcoming Zelda movie directed by Wes Ball, renowned for his work on the Maze Runner series and Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. His vision is to infuse the film with the ethereal aesthetics of Hayao Miyazaki, while making it feel tangible and authentic – a challenge that has me eagerly awaiting its release!
Previously, he hinted at his concept for the Zelda film, saying, “I have this fantastic notion,” followed by, “I’ve been mulling it over for quite some time about how incredible a Zelda movie could be… I aim to meet people’s highest expectations. I understand the significance of this [Zelda] franchise, and I want it to be a genuine film that offers an escape.
As of now, we haven’t received any updates regarding the actors who might be cast in the Zelda movie, meaning we’re still unsure about who could portray Link, Zelda, and other potential characters that appear in the story.
Despite a delay in the release of the Zelda film, Nintendo’s second Super Mario Bros. Movie is still set to premiere in April 2026 as planned.
Meanwhile, here’s an update: The Nintendo Switch 2 has been released! Although it wasn’t accompanied by a new Zelda game initially, enthusiasts have enjoyed updated versions of the existing Zelda titles instead.
