Nintendo announces a release date delay for the live-action Legend of Zelda movie adaptation, while details around the project remain scarce.
The upcoming Legend of Zelda movie has been delayed, but by less than two months, and it is now scheduled to be released on May 7, 2027. Nintendo’s announcement of a film adaptation of the beloved series may not have been a shock after the success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, but the reveal that it’s a live-action title was more surprising. Now the wait to see how The Legend of Zelda handles this new medium will be longer than initially expected, but not by too much.
Nintendo has not revealed much about the film adaptation yet. There are rumors that Zelda is considering Hunter Schafer to play the titular princess, and it’s confirmed that Maze Runner director Wes Ball will helm the project, but most of the details remain a mystery. While Nintendo did just drop another update about the film, it’s likely not the information many fans were hoping for.
