A live-action film based on Nintendo’s “Legend of Zelda” game series will hit big screens around the world on March 26, 2027, the Japanese gaming giant said on Friday.
Nintendo made the announcement on “Nintendo Today!”, a new app for fans that was launched on Thursday.
A short video posted to the app reveals the release date for the very first film in the “Zelda” universe, which was created in 1986 by Shigeru Miyamoto, the co-producer of Super Mario.
“Legend of Zelda” games usually feature protagonist Link, a heroic elf warrior who swordfights his way through a monster-filled fantasy world to aid Princess Zelda.
A sequel is already in the works for April 2026.
The previous attempt to film Mario in 1993 was a flop that put Nintendo off movie adaptions for years.
At the time, the company simply sold the rights to its hero to Hollywood without taking a hand in production.
But the success of the closely supervised recent movie has prompted Nintendo to rethink its strategy.
