The date isn’t being moved up as a result of the film is completed and simply sitting round ready for distribution, although, as Miyamoto experiences that the manufacturing crew remains to be “working hard to deliver the film to everyone as soon as possible.” That “as soon as possible” seems like there might be a risk of skooching the date up even additional, however April 30, 2027 could be the primary Friday of Japan’s Golden Week spring trip interval, which could be what Nintendo is aiming for if the Zelda film is getting a simultaneous worldwide launch.
