Filmatiseringen av The Legend of Zelda släpps tidigare än väntat

The movie adaptation of Legend of Zelda is one of many upcoming video game adaptations, as well as Elden Ring, Call of Duty, and Battlefield. In the recent post, Nintendo confirmed the title will be released earlier than expected.

The announcement comes from the company’s X social media, where Shigeru Miyamoto, Nintendo’s game director, has made a statement about The Legend of Zelda movie. You can check it out below:

“This is Miyamoto. I would like to let you know that the worldwide theatrical release date for the live-action film of The Legend of Zelda has been moved up to April 30, 2027, from May 7. The team is working hard to deliver the film to everyone as soon as possible. There’s less than a year to go until release, so thank you for waiting.”

Last month, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that The Legend of Zelda has wrapped filming. So far, the cast of the movie only includes Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Link and Bo Bragason as Princess Zelda. The first look at the characters was shared by Nintendo back in November 2025. As the shooting process is finished, The Legend of Zelda is now going into post-production. The movie is directed by Wes Ball (The Maze Runner, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes).

As for The Legend of Zelda video games, recent rumors suggest Ocarina of Time, originally released back in 1998, will receive a remake and be released on Nintendo Switch 2 this year. Also, according to Nick Baker, the next game series title might use a concept to switch between realities and dimensions similar to Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart.
