Film director Wes Ball recently made the press tour to promote his new film Monkey planet movie and was asked again about his upcoming Zelda feature film.
While he can’t say much, during a chat with The Direct, The Legend of Zelda director reassured fans about his love for the series and how it was “one of the most important things ever” in his life. He went so far as to compare it to his love for Star Wars from childhood to adulthood and is seemingly confident “fans will be happy” with the final product.
Wes Ball: “We’re working on it. I think it’s going to be great. The fans are going to be happy. To me, ‘Legend of Zelda’ is one of the most important things in life. You know, along with ‘Star Wars.’ I played ‘Legend of Zelda’ during my childhood. You know what I mean? I’m a fan we all hope to be.”
So it’s a work in progress, but there’s no release date yet for a live action Zelda movie. Unfortunately, Wes can’t personally share any details about this without getting in trouble with Nintendo.
“I can’t even tell you that, otherwise Nintendo will come after me”
Earlier this week, the Zelda director talked about how he wants Link’s big screen appearance to be as “ambitious” as possible and wants to make sure the money for this blockbuster project goes into what’s “on the screen.”
