Nintendo will hold a "The Legend of Zelda" 40th Anniversary Nintendo Direct tonight. The company previously stated that the livestream would introduce "several projects related to the 40th anniversary beyond the games themselves," sparking widespread speculation—most notably about the live-action "The Legend of Zelda" movie scheduled for release on April 30, 2026.
Just before the Direct, some users noticed that Sony had quietly registered and acquired the domain name legendofzeldamovie.com for the film's official website. Currently, the site is parked with no substantive content. However, the timing is highly suggestive—just hours before the Zelda Direct begins, it seems almost certain that new information about the movie will be announced during the broadcast.
Reportedly, the film is directed by Wes Ball from the "Planet of the Apes" series, produced by Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto and Sony's Avi Arad, with T.S. Nowlin serving as screenwriter. Details regarding the plot remain strictly confidential.
With the domain secured and the Nintendo Direct just around the corner, will fans see the first trailer or more cast information in tonight's broadcast? The answer will be revealed soon.
