Nintendo shadow-dropped a 2027 release date for a live-action Zelda movie in its weird new app, and it'll reportedly be part of a trilogy

Art of Link in Tears of the Kingdom.

At the latest Nintendo Direct, a new smartphone app called Nintendo Today debuted, and it acts as a calendar and news feed for everything Mario, Zelda, Pikmin, and so on. You might think that sounds slight if you're not a Switch superfan, but the company immediately used the app to drop a release date for the hotly anticipated Legend of Zelda movie: March 26, 2027.

I feel like I've been hearing there's a Zelda movie on the horizon for about as long as I've understood human language, so having an authentic release date pinned is pretty surreal. As reported by VGC, according to Hollywood influencer and leaker Daniel Richtman on the other side of a Patreon paywall, the film's actors have signed on for three movies' worth of Hyrulean antics.
