Nintendo has revealed a broad release window for The Legend of Zelda movie – and fans may have to be patient before they see Hyrule on the big screen.

Director Wes Ball previously outlined his plans for The Legend of Zelda movie in an interview withTotal Film.

“I have this awesome idea,” Ball said. “I’ve been thinking about it for a long freakin’ time, of how cool a Zelda movie would be… I want to fulfil people’s greatest desires. I know it’s important, this [Zelda] franchise, to people and I want it to be a serious movie. A real movie that can give people an escape.”

Ball added, “That’s the thing I want to try to create – it’s got to feel like something real. Something serious and cool, but fun and whimsical.”
