Nintendo confirmed earlier this year, its plans to turn the gaming company into an entertainment empire by slowly transitioning into theme parks and movies. They've both succeeded gracefully, with Illumination-produced Mario.

With The Legend of Zelda being a live-action production, Nintendo is partnering with Tears of the Kingdom with special abilities that let you build machines and a whole Sky Island map section to explore. They're both considered as some of the best video games ever made.

Director Ball is also slated to helm Netflix tried to develop an animated series based on Zelda, though it never came to fruition.

Currently, The Legend of Zelda live-action movie does not have a release window.
