When the date was first changed, Miyamoto said: "It will be some weeks later than the release timing we originally announced, and we will take the extra time to make the film as good as it can be. Thank you for your patience."
The latest move advances the release by one week from the prior schedule. The team is united in advancing production to deliver the film even one day sooner.
Bo Bragason, known for Pinocchio, plays Zelda in the movie. Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, known for Three Girls, stars as Link.
The princess Sheikah bodyguard Impa appears to be in the movie as well. The film is Nintendo's next Hollywood adaptation.
