Nintendo is developing a live-action film adaptation of 'The Legend of Zelda'.
The decision to develop a live-action film is part of Nintendo's strategy to expand beyond its core gaming business.
The film will be directed by Wes Ball and co-produced by Shigeru Miyamoto of Nintendo and Avi Arad of Arad Productions Inc.
The production costs will be majorly funded by Nintendo, with Sony Pictures Entertainment overseeing its distribution in theaters worldwide.

Nintendo, the Japanese gaming giant, has announced the development of a live-action film adaptation of its popular video game franchise, 'The Legend of Zelda'. The film will be directed by Wes Ball, known for his work on the 'Maze Runner' trilogy. The project will be co-produced by Shigeru Miyamoto of Nintendo and Avi Arad of Arad Productions Inc. The production costs will be majorly funded by Nintendo, with Sony Pictures Entertainment overseeing its distribution in theaters worldwide.

This move marks a significant shift for Nintendo, which has traditionally been cautious about adapting its games for cinema. The specifics on the plot and cast have not yet been disclosed, but fans can anticipate the familiar epic saga of Link's battle against Ganon and the quest to save Princess Zelda.

The decision to develop a live-action film is part of Nintendo's strategy to expand beyond its core gaming business. The company's sales in its mobile and intellectual property related business more than doubled in the first half of the current financial year. The success of the Super Mario film has also translated into bigger sales for its Switch machines and game software with Super Mario themes.

The company reported an 18% rise in net profit for its first fiscal half. Its animation film 'The Super Mario Bros. Movie' has raked in more than $1.3 billion and drew nearly 170 million people worldwide. The release date for the 'The Legend of Zelda' film has not been announced yet.
