Nintendo has confirmed that the live-action The Legend of Zelda movie will premiere on March 26, 2027.

The announcement was made through the newly launched Nintendo Today! app, introduced during the Nintendo Direct in March 2025. No further details about the film were shared.

Video game icon Shigeru Miyamoto revealed the company’s latest updates as a final highlight during the presentation. This all-in-one mobile app offers a range of features for dedicated Nintendo fans to explore.

This central hub for Nintendo enthusiasts acts as a daily calendar and news platform, delivering updates directly to users in real time. Miyamoto noted that, following the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct next week, fans can access the Nintendo Today app for the latest updates, with fresh content arriving daily.

The early reveal of the Zelda movie release date is already generating buzz, encouraging fans to download the app in anticipation of more major 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 his vision for a "live-action Miyazaki," drawing inspiration from renowned 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.
