A huge challenge: bringing Zelda to the big screen
With more than 140 million copies sold, The Legend of Zelda is one of Nintendo's and global gaming's most influential franchises. For this reason, fans are closely following every detail, expecting a result worthy of its history.

Expectations are also shaped by the overwhelming success of "Super Mario Bros.: The Movie", which set the bar very high for adaptations. The studio is aiming to repeat that phenomenon with a film that will captivate both veteran players and new generations.
