Nintendo’s news app is already breaking some news: today it revealed the premiere date for the upcoming live-action Zelda movie. The film, which appears to be called simply The Legend of Zelda, will hit theaters worldwide on March 26th, 2027.
Here’s a screenshot of the reveal:

We still know next to nothing about the movie, which was first announced in 2023 following the breakout success of the animated Super Mario Bros. Movie, which earned more than $1 billion at the box office. It’ll be directed by Wes Ball (Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes), while Zelda and Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto will serve as producer, much as he did on the Super Mario movie.
