According to yesterday’s Nintendo Direct presentation, a release date for the upcoming live-action “Legend of Zelda” movie has been announced via the Nintendo Today! news app. The movie won’t hit the screens until March 26th, 2027, which is about two years from now. As of now, there’s no word on who will star in the film or what the plot will be.
The Legend of Zelda movie has a release date, and it’s two years away
It’s quite unusual to have a precise release date set for “The Legend of Zelda” movie in 2027, considering how frequently games and projects get delayed these days. In fact, even during Nintendo’s own presentation yesterday, many games only announced vague release years like 2026 without providing any additional details. So we’ll have to wait and see more about this movie, but perhaps Nintendo has allowed themselves ample time to address potential issues.
To date, we’ve only gathered a bit of information about the movie, and that includes who will be directing it. Back in November 2023, Nintendo announced that Wes Ball would be taking up this role when we first heard that the movie was being developed. Most recently, Wes Ball is recognized for his work on the ‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’, which released last summer, and also for the ‘Maze Runner’ trilogy.
In this project, Nintendo will primarily fund the movie, but Sony Pictures Entertainment is also contributing financially as a co-investor. This unusual partnership between Sony and Nintendo might surprise many video game fans. Although Sony and Nintendo don’t have the intense competition like Sony and Microsoft, it’s intriguing to witness these two significant console developers collaborating on something.
The news about the Legend of Zelda movie emerged not long after the massive success of the Super Mario Bros. Movie in 2023. This triumph has undoubtedly motivated Nintendo to explore other cinematic ventures. However, it remains to be seen whether The Legend of Zelda will achieve the same level of success as its predecessor, given that its video game franchise, while critically acclaimed, was not as widely recognized by the public prior to the release of Breath of the Wild on the Nintendo Switch console.
The success of the “Super Mario Bros. Movie” can be attributed to several factors, with its focus on animation, humor, and iconic characters playing a significant role. However, a live-action adaptation might not resonate as strongly with audiences if it maintains a more serious tone, given that many casual fans may confuse Link for Zelda. We’ll have to wait and see how it pans out. Perhaps choosing an actor other than Chris Pratt for the role of Link could help avoid such confusion.
