After the box office success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Nintendo is ready to bring another legendary franchise to the big screen! The live-action Legend of Zelda movie now has an official release date—March 2027.

The two-year wait will undoubtedly have fans speculating, especially since no casting details have been revealed yet. What we do know is that Wes Ball (Maze Runner trilogy, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes) is set to direct, with Derek Connolly (Jurassic World, Detective Pikachu) writing the screenplay.

Nintendo is co-financing the film alongside Sony Pictures Entertainment, covering more than 50% of the budget. Sony will handle theatrical distribution. Nintendo has emphasized its push to bring its beloved franchises to audiences beyond gaming, and a Zelda movie is a huge step in that direction.

Will it capture the magic of Hyrule? Who will wield the Master Sword? We’ll have to wait a little longer to find out!
