Nintendo has officially set a global release date for its highly anticipated live-action The Legend of Zelda film: March 26, 2027. The announcement was made Friday through the company’s newly launched smart-device app, Nintendo Today—marking a shift in how the gaming giant is choosing to break major news.The film, first revealed in 2023, is being co-produced by Shigeru Miyamoto, the beloved co-creator of the Zelda franchise, and veteran Hollywood producer Avi Arad (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse). The duo has reportedly been working behind the scenes on the adaptation for years.At the helm of the project is director Wes Ball, known for The Maze Runner series and the upcoming Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. Ball has stated his vision for Zelda will be a more grounded take on the fantasy world of Hyrule, with an emphasis on practical effects over heavy CGI. His aim, he says, is to make the film feel “real” while staying true to the core of what makes The Legend of Zelda resonate with generations of fans.While many anticipated a flashy reveal on traditional platforms like YouTube or Twitter, Nintendo's choice to use its Nintendo Today app may signal a new era in direct communication with fans. The app, which requires a Nintendo Account and is available now on iOS and Android, appears to be the company’s new central hub for major announcements and updates.This isn't the only film project in the pipeline. Nintendo is also teaming up again with Illumination for a new animated Super Mario Bros. film, scheduled to arrive in theaters on April 3, 2026. Miyamoto recently hinted the sequel would “broaden Mario’s world” with a story that’s “bright and fun.”The twin projects—Zelda and Mario—underline Nintendo’s growing confidence in its cinematic universe, and the company’s ongoing effort to expand its beloved characters beyond consoles.
