The Legend of Zelda movie—in collaboration with Nintendo and Sony—has been given a 2027 release date. It’s been a couple of years since the movie’s announcement, and now we finally have a key detail to indicate it’s moving along.
Hooray for Hyrule as Zelda fans can rejoice! The Legend of Zelda is one of the most famous video-game franchises in history—and there’s simply no debate. If we backtrack to Nov. 7, 2023, we can fondly remember The Legend of Zelda movie being announced and sending the gaming community into hysterics.
It’s been fairly quiet on this front for nearly two years. Doubts started to creep in that it wasn’t happening, but you can sheathe your Master Sword for now.
New Nintendo App Reveals The Legend of Zelda Movie 2027 Release Date
The Legend of Zelda Movie is set for a March 26, 2027, release date. The news came from a surprising source—the newly launched Nintendo Today app.
We don’t have a shot from the app itself, but you can see this message from popular X user Wario64 showcasing the announcement. The official screenshot says: “The live-action film of The Legend of Zelda will be released worldwide on March 26, 2027.”
Nothing else has been revealed for now. We have no indication of the actors or actresses involved, and we’re not sure if this is a brand-new story, or where (or when) it’s set.
But the shock announcement is the perfect way to sell the idea of the Nintendo Today app. It’s all happening on the Zelda front as a new remake is rumored.
