It’s Dangerous to Go Alone—Take This Movie Ticket! Nintendo Confirms Live-Action Legend of Zelda Film!
Grab your Master Sword and shine up those rupees—because The Legend of Zelda is officially heading to the big screen, and we are Hylian-hyped! After years of rumors, fan theories, and more speculation than you’ll find in a Bokoblin camp, Nintendo has finally confirmed that Link is leaping out of the game and into live-action in a brand-new movie set to hit theaters on March 26, 2027.

Announced just hours after Nintendo launched their new app Nintendo Today (seriously, what a double whammy!), the news dropped like a bomb arrow—in the best way possible. And yes, we have confirmed it’s real. No need to check your Sheikah Slate.
Here’s what we know so far: the film will be directed by Wes Ball, known for bringing The Maze Runner series and the upcoming Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes to life. The movie is a collaboration between Nintendo and Avi Arad’s Arad Productions, Inc., with none other than Nintendo legend Shigeru Miyamoto co-producing. If you’ve ever journeyed across Hyrule, solved ancient shrines, or accidentally angered a cucco, you know this is a big deal.
While casting and plot details are still sealed tighter than a Temple of Time gate, fans are already speculating that the story might pull from Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, the Switch-era epics that redefined the franchise and our collective need to climb literally every mountain. And let’s be real—whether we’re seeing Link in green tunic or Champion’s blue, we’ll be there faster than Epona on a speed boost.

Given Nintendo’s cautious approach to film adaptations, it’s clear they’re treating this like the Sacred Realm itself: with utmost reverence. Their last foray onto the big screen, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, powered up the box office with over $1.3 billion globally. With Zelda next in line, we might just be entering the age of the Nintendo Cinematic Universe—yes, we said it.
So start practicing your ocarina, stocking up on heart containers, and expanding that stamina wheel. March 2027 may feel like it’s a few Blood Moons away, but as any true Hero of Time knows… the wait is worth it.
Whether you’re Team Sword or Team Bomb Arrow, one thing is certain: The Legend of Zelda movie is finally happening—and that’s the real treasure in the chest. 
HYAAAH!
