Nintendo Moves 'Legend of Zelda' Film Up to April 30, 2027

The move extends Nintendo’s pattern of fine-tuning release dates for its big-screen adaptations.

Overview

  • Shigeru Miyamoto announced Wednesday that the worldwide theatrical date has moved from May 7, 2027 to April 30, 2027.
  • The change is the second shift after an initial March 2027 plan that Nintendo postponed for “production reasons.”
  • Filming took place in New Zealand, and a crew post last month signaled that principal photography had wrapped.
  • Sony Pictures is partnering with Nintendo on the project, with Wes Ball directing and producers Shigeru Miyamoto and Avi Arad attached.
  • Benjamin Evan Ainsworth stars as Link and Bo Bragason plays Zelda, while major plot details and a trailer remain undisclosed.
