Nintendo has announced through the recently announced and released Nintendo Today app that The Legend of Zelda live action movie will launch on 26th March, 2027. There were no other details mentioned, but all eyes will be on the casting and the eventual trailer.
Thanks to those who sent this in!

Nintendo always has to compete with Sonic 😂
Sonic 4 will stand an even chance regardless, but Zelda fans will be wild!
Sonic sucks
after all the hype behind the third sonic movie one could think that it was going to break box office records but it only surpassed the detective pikachu and after three movies you can tell that the franchise already reached the roof, of course the smb movie sequel has the task of being a good movie (compared to the first movie the bar isn’t really that high) and showing that the series can attract movie goers like the first movie and zelda really has the challenges of proving that they can handle the franchise in live action while respecting what made the games so appealing.
I am not throwing shade at sega.
its the other way around buddy lol
sega literally said they want to do better than nintendo as a goal or whatever the quote was. Mynintendonews covered it.
that being said, sonic has big a chance to out do zelda. Zelda is a top nintendo series but its not on mario level at all. The trailer will have to sell it
So now the public are ahead of you, Sickr, in terms of news. You just upload what goes on there. Makes one wonder how useful a website as this will be in the future…
Will presumably be first party news and perhaps some third party, but no rumours etc. I’m all for it.
Sickr, from the long time I’ve spent visiting this site I am genuinely impressed by your ability to stay as professional as you can and always have been. Thank you for all that you’ve done in regards to this site.
Pretty accurate sickr.
I second CosmicTornado’s sentiments. Also, thx for giving some of us as much leeway as you have. Other sites would’ve probably banned me a long time ago even though there’s been far worse people on here than me. 😭🤣
Interesting. Link doesn’t even talk though.
Link better not be Tom Holland 😑 I swear Sony, you better not.
It’s going to be Chris Pratt.
God no… At that point, make The Rock Link and the big show one of the Gorons.
Fret not. It’s gonna be Johnny Depp. His Hollywood comeback is nigh!
Nope, it must be Jack Black. He is PERFECT for this role. DO IT, NINTENDO!!!
Does Timothée Chalamet sound better or worse?
Personally, 15-20 years ago, I would’ve wanted Orlando Bloom as Link.
Honestly, that’d definitely be the way to go for me to actually enjoy the character again. That said, ” KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!” in regards to the WW version of Tingle.
… ……. ………….oh fuck! The GCN Ninty Classics app! The original WW! 😭 NUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!
God damn it, WordPress! This was meant for CFG! 😫💀🤬
I’m very curious how this movie will turn out. But even if it’ll be the worst movie of all time, it is my duty to watch it. 🫡
I hate live action adaptations…
and cinematic universes.
Basically new Movie slop. Yeah.
let’s hope Ninty won’t follow that trend, unless it makes sense, for example Mario and Donkey kong.
Im calling it now Jack Black will be cast as Zelda and Link.
You’re joking but don’t be surprised when you go to see the movie, see Jack Black walk on screen and say, “I…. AM TINGLE.”
In an absurdist kind of way, I’d actually find that really funny
grumble, grumble Have to double post because WordPress is stupid.

Im guessing this movie will be in 480p and will be presented at 10fps like nintendo always do to their games? Oh and no dolby atmos just mono sound.
Che cazzo stai facendo della tua vita?
Well it’s official. This will be the first time we see Link talks.
Well excuuuuuuuuuse me princess!
There aren’t too many instances, but Link has officially spoken a few times. Even if you discount BotW and TotK (you shouldn’t), he also spoke in Link’s Awakening when he finds the mural about the Wind Fish
Yes but he was spoken in grunts.
Well, I hope it’s animated because I don’t know if Live Action is the way to go even though I assume that’s what they want. I would Animate it and Let Studio Ghibli do it
Typical of Nintendo to release massive news on an app most people don’t even know exists.
Looks like the Legend of Zelda comes out just in time for my 34th birthday🎂
The Nintendo today app is out already? Great! Now I don’t have to torture myself by going to this stupid site anymore. Bye!
Che cazzo stai facendo della tua vita?
I Think Freya Allan as Princess Zelda & Levi Miller as Link In The Legend of Zelda live-action movie
Nintendo UPDATE: Zelda Movie will release on May 7, 2027.
