A live-action movie based on Nintendo's immensely successful The Legend of Zelda franchise has been in development for some time, and today the worldwide release date has been confirmed as March 26, 2027.

Nintendo was hesitant to greenlight an adaptation of the beloved fantasy video game until the massive success of the Super Mario Bros. Movie. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes and The Maze Runner trilogy helmer Wes Ball is set to direct (and he's already said a few things about his vision for the film that has made us very, very excited).

The studio’s live-action video game adaptation is set for theatrical release on March 26, 2027, with Nintendo announcing the news on their app on Friday morning. Wes Ball, who helmed last year’s Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, is directing the feature that has not yet announced plot details or a cast.
