Nintendo Unless you've been staying off the internet and running past all theaters with a bag over your head for the past few years, you'll probably be aware that Nintendo is very much in the movie business these days. And while The Super Mario Galaxy Movie likely won't stop inhaling money for a while yet, the company's focus will be on generating hype for next year's live-action Zelda movie, which is now coming out a bit earlier than planned.
Announced by Nintendo executive and Zelda creator Shigeru Miyamoto in his trademark social media style, The Legend of Zelda's worldwide theatrical release date has been brought forward to April 30, 2027, rescheduled from its previous May 7 spot in the release calendar. That means we have one week fewer to wait to see what exactly Nintendo and Sony Pictures have come up with for Link and Zelda's big-screen debut.
"In order to deliver it to everyone even one day sooner, the team is united in advancing production," Miyamoto wrote on X, in a post that has been translated from Japanese. "It's less than a year until release, but please wait just a little longer."
