Nintendo Delays Live-Action The Legend of Zelda Movie
Nintendo has delayed the launch of its upcoming live-action The Legend of Zelda movie, the company has just confirmed.
A statement by Nintendo legend Shigeru Miyamoto, posted to social media this afternoon, states that “extra time” will now be taken to improve the film’s quality. The movie had been set to arrive on March 26, 2027, and will now arrive May 7, 2027.
“This is Miyamoto,” the statement reads. “For production reasons, we are changing the release date of the live-action film of The Legend of Zelda to May 7, 2027.
“It will be some weeks later than the release timing we originally announced, and we will take the extra time to make the film as good as it can be. Thank you for your patience.”
Zelda’s previous release date had been just one week after the scheduled release of Sonic The Hedgehog 4, on March 19, 2027.
