Nintendo has delayed its live-action The Legend of Zelda movie. Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto–who created Zelda–said in a statement that the delay comes down to “production reasons.” The film is slipping from March 26, 2027 to May 7, 2027.
“For production reasons, we are changing the release date of the live-action film of The Legend of Zelda to May 7, 2027. It will be some weeks later than the release timing we originally announced, and we will take the extra time to make the film as good as it can be. Thank you for your patience,” Miyamoto said.
No specific reason for the delay beyond “production reasons” was disclosed. Hollywood movies get delayed all the time, so this is not all that surprising, and the shift is not all that long as delays go.
