Nintendo has finally unveiled the full release date for the much-anticipated live-action Legend of Zelda movie through its new Nintendo Today app, launched just yesterday. While eager fans might have hoped for exciting announcements regarding the successor to the Nintendo Switch, those revelations are scheduled for next week. Instead, we now know that the Legend of Zelda film will hit theaters on March 26, 2027.
It only took a day for the Today app to prove its worth, as Shigeru Miyamoto promised it would be the go-to source for major Nintendo updates, delivered directly to fans. The efficiency is impressive, earning Nintendo high praise for their timely announcements.
At this point, the app has only shared the release date for the movie; additional details remain under wraps. For those eagerly awaiting this epic film, it’s a bit of a wait. In the meantime, if other Nintendo happenings pique your interest, such as the subtle release of a new console this year, there’s plenty to keep you engaged.
The announcement is sure to drive downloads for the Today app, as fans anticipate it becoming a hub for continuous major Nintendo news.
This live-action Zelda project, first revealed in 2023, left many, including contributor Oisin Kuhnke, in disbelief—especially with Sony Pictures Entertainment partnering with Nintendo to co-finance the film. Yet, professionals that we are, we bring you this news even with hypothetical challenges in play.
Perhaps Oisin should predict the lottery next, as they speculated last November that the Zelda film wouldn’t debut until 2027—spot-on, given Nintendo’s confirmation for a release in a year starting with two, zero, and another two.
