The Legend of Zelda Movie: A Live-Action Adventure on the Horizon

Nintendo has finally committed to a release window for its highly anticipated live-action The Legend of Zelda movie, albeit a broad one. In late 2023, the gaming giant announced a partnership with Sony to develop a film adaptation of one of its most beloved franchises. The movie is set to be directed by Wes Ball, who also directed Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.

After months of silence on the project's status, Nintendo has revealed a release window of "202X" in its latest financial report. Although the timeframe is not specific, it provides some insight into when fans can expect the film to drop – sometime between 2025 and 2029.

The Legend of Zelda movie's release window was revealed alongside the sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which is set for 2026. With Zelda's broad release window, it's expected that work on the film will kick into high gear soon. The project's script needs to be solidified, and the casting process likely needs to begin. If all goes well, filming could start as early as 2026 or 2027.

The Mysterious Zelda Movie Storyline

While details about the movie's storyline are scarce, fans are speculating about which direction the story will take. Will it center around a specific Zelda video game, or will Nintendo opt to tell a wholly original story within the Zelda universe, similar to The Super Mario Bros. Movie? Only time will tell, but it seems like more information could surface in the coming months.

Fans can rejoice knowing that the project is finally gaining momentum. As we await more news, the anticipation for Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda movie continues to build.
