In addition, Nintendo will finance more than 50% of the film&#8217;s production costs, and Sony Pictures Entertainment will co-finance and distribute the film worldwide.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of movies based on Nintendo IPs, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which was released in April this year, is still fresh in our minds as a resounding success.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for the Zelda series, the latest edition to the series, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, was released in May this year, and became a record-breaking hit. The movie adaptation for Zelda will take a different approach than the Mario movie, opting for live action rather than 3D animation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:12px\"><br><br><br><br><em>Written by.
