Fri Mar 28 20:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Zelda Fans Rejoice! Live-Action Movie Gets 2027 Release Date
**Kyoto, Japan** – Nintendo has finally revealed the release date for its highly anticipated live-action *The Legend of Zelda* movie: March 26, 2027. The announcement, a surprise reveal from Nintendo legend Shigeru Miyamoto, was made via the newly launched Nintendo Today! app, a dedicated news and information hub for Nintendo fans.
The news broke during a recent Nintendo Direct presentation, bypassing the company’s usual social media channels. This suggests the app will serve as a primary source for future Nintendo announcements. Miyamoto highlighted the app’s daily updates, promising a steady stream of news following next week’s Nintendo Switch 2 Direct.
While the release date is confirmed, details about the movie itself remain scarce. Director Wes Ball (known for *The Maze Runner* franchise) previously stated his intention to create a grounded, realistic adaptation, aiming for a style reminiscent of Studio Ghibli films, while minimizing the use of motion capture. The film is a collaboration between Nintendo and Sony Pictures, with Avi Arad and Shigeru Miyamoto serving as producers. The announcement has sent ripples of excitement through the gaming community, prompting many to download the Nintendo Today! app in anticipation of further updates.
