Just in case it had slipped your mind, Nintendo has partnered with Sony Pictures to make a live-action The Legend of Zelda movie.
Initially planned for a global theatrical release on 26th March, 2027, none other than Shigeru Miyamoto himself has announced a slight delay:
The film is now pencilled in for 7th May, 2027 — not a huge delay, and hard for it to really have an impact when it's so far out in the first place.
Still, we appreciate the notice; thank you, Miyamoto-san.
The Legend of Zelda movie is being produced by the Nintendo head alongside Avi Arad (producer on all things Marvel, mainly — Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Venom, Iron Man, and plenty more).
The director is Wes Ball, known for the Maze Runner films as well as Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.
Are you excited to watch the Zelda movie in just under two years' time? Let us know in the comments section below.

The casting for this movie is going to be very interesting to see who they cast for link and Zelda
Ocarina of time is the first game I ever remember playing religiously, completing it on my n64 is like a core memory. Praying they do this series justice with the adaptation
@Americansamurai1 Elle Fanning would make a great Zelda imo.
Tom Holland as Link, you know it’s only right.
Hopefully the rumour of Hunter Schafer for Zelda turns out true as she's the spitting image of Zelda and is a good actress.
This movie has no hope Avi Arad is involved
@DennisReynolds Oh no now you've done it. Now watch the comments get closed down after half of them get deleted. 😂

Might just be me but if I'm making what I hope to be a big successful movie of the summer blockbuster variety I'd much rather have it come out in May instead of March.
Also possibly related, 3 weeks ago Avengers Secret Wars got moved from May 7, 2027 to Dec 17, 2027.

Coincidence? 🤷♂️
Legend was the closest to this a film will get hopefully it's good we will see I won't hold my breath though
@rjejr Oh i know that post will trigger some certain precious folk but i honestly want her as Zelda and have done ever since the film was announced.
Is it just me, or is there anyone else who has no desire to watch video game movies? There are so many games I love that have movies that I have absolutely zero interest in watching. The few that I have seen were very disappointing for the most part.
@Lukeaj93 Such an all time classic.
@DennisReynolds I want Yara Shahidi as Zelda and Miles Brown as Link but we can't always get what we want.
I don't see why they need to look like the characters either. Link himself should be a customisable character, since he's such a blank slate in most games, who you can change the hair and skin colour of. Nintendo needs more black characters. Instead we're going to get the usual white cast, so I don't see what you're upset about. Tom Holland probably as Link 😴
@TruestoryYep Upset about what? 🤨
People have wondered what it would take to bring back Daniel Day Lewis...

Nicole Kidman as Zelda, Christian Slater as Link.
@Brundleflies21
Perfect Gannondorf!
@DennisReynolds I read dozens of comments in that article before I even knew what was going on. 😂
Looks like this 1 is headed that way as well but since this is a Sony site looks like most people don't even care about the movie so...🤷♂️
"What Was Announced for PS5 at Xbox Games Showcase?", and "Sony's Legend of Zelda movie releasing a little later to make it 'as good as can be'"...
We're through the looking glass here, people.
@TimeDelayedGamer What do you mean?

@TimeDelayedGamer Very much my thought. I’m here for it though! Seems funny wishing Nintendo and Sony luck on THEIR Legend of Zelda movie lol
@crackeastwood Just strange times... Xbox releasing games on PS5. Sony and Nintendo working together on a Zelda movie. Who would have foreseen this a few years ago?
Sega will be announcing a new console next 🙃
Will Link finally speak? 😂
@TruestoryYep when tf has there been skin or hair customization in a Zelda game?
@TruestoryYep wait, read to the end and realized this is satire…
Elle Fanning as Zelda.
