Recently, Nintendo announced the development of a live-action movie adaptation of The Legend of Zelda, appointing Wes Ball as the film's director. Wes Ball, known for his work on the Maze Runner series and the upcoming Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, expressed his interest in directing a Zelda film over a decade ago in a 2010 tweet. In that tweet, he mentioned his desire to create a motion capture film similar to Avatar for the Zelda franchise.

The announcement has sparked a mix of excitement and speculation within the fan community. Key details, such as whether the movie will follow a specific game like Ocarina of Time and casting decisions for characters like Link and Zelda, remain unknown at this time.

Given Ball's current commitments and the ongoing actor's strike, it appears that the live-action Legend of Zelda movie is still in the early stages of production. Regardless, the news reflects a long-time aspiration for Ball, who would likely be proud of how his career has aligned with his past ambitions.
