As reported on by "The Hollywood Reporter" a live action adaptation of The Legend of Zelda is in the works. Being produced by Nintendo and Arad Productions and being co-financed by Sony Pictures, the movie is in the early stages but has been in active development for years. Wes Ball of the Maze Runner trilogy is set to direct.

"Nintendo representative director and fellow Shigeru Miyamoto, who is set to produce the project, posted Tuesday to X (formerly Twitter) that he and Arad have been working on a live-action movie version “for many years now.”

​

Miyamoto continued, “We have now officially started the development of the film with Nintendo itself heavily involved in the production. It will take time until its completion, but I hope you look forward to seeing it.”

The “Zelda” movie is co-produced by Arad, whose credits include every live-action “Spider-Man” movie and the “Spider-Verse” animated films. The film will be co-financed by Nintendo and Sony Pictures Entertainment, with more than 50% financed by Nintendo. Sony will handle the theatrical distribution.

Nah, not really, and Arad Productions as well, who have been responsible for alot of the cheesier Marvel films recently, such as Venom and Morbius, albeit they did finance the Spiderverse films, but those are exceptions in what is mostly crappy Non-MCU films.

Live action? I demand John Leguizamo play Link and the entire cast and crew do a whole bunch of drugs during production.

Danny Devito would legit make a perfect Tingle

Cautiously optimistic about this just gotta wait and see. Mario movie turned out good despite the stuff pre-release.

Live action didn't stop Spider-Man from having crossovers.
