Nintendo Announces Live-Action Zelda Movie Release

Nintendo has confirmed that the live-action adaptation of The Legend of Zelda is set for release sometime between 2025 and 2029, with a vague designation of '202X' noted in their financial report. This news comes on the heels of the anticipated sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which is scheduled for April 2026. Director Wes Ball has expressed his vision for the film, aiming for a serious and whimsical tone reminiscent of Hayao Miyazaki's work. The project is being produced in collaboration with Sony Pictures, although specific casting announcements have not yet been made. Meanwhile, Nintendo's Switch sales are faltering, but the company reassured fans that the forthcoming Switch 2 will be backwards compatible. The Zelda movie's development continues to generate excitement among fans, despite the long wait.
