After being delayed, The Legend of Zelda movie has now been brought forward

Nintendo has moved the live-action The Legend of Zelda film up to April 30, 2027, from the previously announced May 7 date.

The movie began filming in New Zealand in November 2025 and is directed by Wes Ball.

Benjamin Evan Ainsworth will play Link, and Bo Bragason will portray Zelda.

The earlier release date suggests the project is moving ahead of schedule and staying on track for a 2027 theatrical debut.
