Nintendo officially announced a live-action film adaptation of its hugely popular “The Legend of Zelda” franchise, with Wes Ball directing and creator Shigeru Miyamoto co-producing alongside Avi Arad.
This new venture follows the blockbuster success of "The Super Mario Bros. Movie," signaling Nintendo's renewed strategy to directly develop Hollywood adaptations after a previous cinematic flop.
Sony Pictures will co-finance and distribute the "Zelda" movie, which is currently in early development and expected to take significant time until completion.
The iconic "Zelda" game series, featuring elf-like warrior Link, Princess Zelda, and the land of Hyrule, has sold over 150 million copies since its 1986 debut.
