Sony Pictures & Nintendo Team For Live Action, The Legend of Zelda

A live action of The Legend of Zelda is in the works with Nintendo and Sony Pictures Entertainment. The two companies made the joint announcement today, November 7, via a press released.

Based on the beloved video game series, the film is set to be “…directed by Wes Ball. The film will be co-financed by Nintendo and Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc., with more than 50% financed by Nintendo. The theatrical distribution of the film will be done worldwide by Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc.”

For those who are not aware, The Legend of Zelda follows a young warrior named Link and Princess Zelda as they protect their kingdom of Hyrule from the evil Ganon.

Really wish this was sticking to an animated version or an animated TV series.
