“Once you see the film, you’ll understand why there isn’t a subtitle,” Miyamoto teased.
“This is an original film based on the many stories, ideas, and concepts of the series, built up through the games for 40 years.
“Through the creative power and visual expertise of the talented production team, it’s become an artistic work worthy of The Legend of Zelda series.”
Miyamoto also confirmed that the Triforce — the sacred relic that has appeared in the majority of Zelda games, holding the ultimate source of power — will play a role in the film.
No trailers, footage, or screenshots of the film were shown, though Miyamoto said that more details will come “at a later time.”
The Legend of Zelda will debut exclusively in theaters on April 30th, 2027.
