Legend of Zelda Live-Action Movie: Official Social Media Launches Ahead of 2027 Release

Nintendo’s iconic The Legend of Zelda franchise is set to make its leap to the big screen with a live-action adaptation, generating significant buzz across the gaming and entertainment industries.

Building on widespread anticipation, the official social media presence for the upcoming film has now been established, marking a key milestone in the movie’s marketing campaign. The official account for the Legend of Zelda live-action movie—registered as @The_Zelda_Movie on X (formerly known as Twitter)—recently went live.

Its bio confirms that the film will debut exclusively in theaters on May 7, 2027, aligning with prior announcements from both Nintendo and its production partners.

The account, created in November 2023, has received verification as an official affiliate of Sony Pictures, underlining the studio’s involvement as a co-financier and major distributor for the project. So far, while there have been no exclusive news updates or new content from the official account, it has made efforts to amplify its presence in the broader gaming community.

The page has shared several announcements related to the movie's revealed cast and has reposted a recent update from Shigeru Miyamoto, Nintendo’s visionary leader, who previously expressed enthusiasm for the talented actors joining the project.

At this time, the account primarily engages with Sony Pictures and the official PlayStation account, but has not yet publicly followed any Nintendo social channels. Regarding the film’s cast, it was officially confirmed last month that Bo Bragason will play Princess Zelda and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth has been cast as Link, the legendary hero of Hyrule.

These casting choices have generated considerable excitement among fans and industry observers alike, with heightened expectations for how the film will adapt the beloved storylines and characters of the iconic Nintendo series. Sony Pictures’ role as co-financier underscores the scale and ambition of the project, which will bring together world-class talent from both the gaming and film industries.

As anticipation builds and the official marketing campaign begins to ramp up, further updates are expected to be unveiled through the newly launched social media channels.

The Legend of Zelda live-action movie represents a significant collaboration for Nintendo, building on the franchise’s storied history with millions of units sold across various Nintendo hardware platforms including the Nintendo Switch, and demonstrates the growing synergy between game development and cinematic storytelling. Stay tuned for more verified announcements as Nintendo, Sony Pictures, and their partners prepare for what is poised to be a landmark release in May 2027.
