Nintendo is obsessed with dominating news headlines this week, huh?

Thursday's surprise Nintendo Direct livestream bundled a bunch of game announcements together with the news that Nintendo would launch its own mobile app for daily news-breaking purposes. Well, the first Nintendo Today! news drop is here, and it's a big one: The live-action The Legend of Zelda movie will come out on March 26, 2027.

You might be thinking, "There's a live-action Zelda movie?" Well, yeah. Nintendo announced the project back in late 2023 with director Wes Ball (of The Maze Runner trilogy) attached and no other information about it. We still don't know anything about casting, but at least now we know when it's supposed to come out.

Some kind of Zelda movie was probably inevitable after the huge success of the 2023 Super Mario Bros. movie, but one has to wonder how exactly it will work. Zelda series protagonist Link famously doesn't speak out loud in the game, and I doubt they would adapt the recent Echoes of Wisdom game with Zelda as the main protagonist this soon after its release.

Over the years, there have been plenty of big fantasy epics out of Hollywood, but Zelda isn't really Lord of the Rings. It might be hard to get a big emotional climax out of Link figuring out how to solve a puzzle with a boomerang.

Still, as we wait for the Switch 2 Direct next week, we might as well ponder. Maybe Chris Pratt can star in this one, too.

When survival-action RPG Atomfall was first revealed, it drew immediate comparisons to the Fallout series. Players wake up in a quarantine zone bunker in the middle of England’s Lake District with no memory of how they got there and soon find themselves exploring an irradiated open world, fighting traveling bands of bandits, and trying to uncover the mysteries of a secret government bunker.

SAVE $22: During Amazon's Big Spring Sale, shop the Soundcore Q20 wireless headphones for just $43.99. That's $22 off of $65.99 for 33% savings.

Amazon's Big Spring Sale is well underway. Luckily, the deals are staying consistent, so there's still time to score hundreds of dollars of savings on headphones and speakers. While there are some sweet savings to find on big ticket items from Bose or Sony, it's also an ideal time to save on budget items.

The Soundcore Q20 wireless headphones are a good value at their standard $65.99, and now they're on sale for $43.99, or 33% off. They have active noise cancellation paired with memory phone ear cups for a design that truly blocks out the world. These headphones can go for days, with up to 40 hours of battery life with ANC turned on. And if you're a bass lover, you can use the BassUp feature on the headphones that'll crank up the bass.

Normally $65.99, the Soundcore Q20 wireless headphones, are already a pretty good price for all you get. But during the Big Spring Sale, they're an even better price of $43.99. That knocks off $22 for 33% savings.

SAVE $7: As of March 28, the Stanley IceFlow 30-ounce tumbler is down to just $28 at Amazon during its Big Spring Sale. That's 20% off its usual cost of $35 in the navy, plum, cream, and tigerlily plum shades.

Although the TikTok hype has mostly died down, Stanley still makes stellar cups. The quality has never wavered. If you don't care about what's popular amongst the teens, the Stanley IceFlow 30-ounce tumbler is a great choice — and it's on sale.

Typically $35, the Stanley IceFlow 30-ounce tumbler is down to just $28 at Amazon as of March 28 during its Big Spring Sale. That's 20% in savings on select color options: navy, plum, cream, and tigerlily plum.

Like the other buzzworthy Stanley cup, the IceFlow tumbler is double-wall vacuum insulated, leakproof, car cup holder-friendly, and dishwasher safe. It'll keep ice for up to two days and stay chilled for at least half a day. Plus — and this is the best part — it has a super convenient, ergonomic, rotating handle to make it easy to tote around and a flip-straw lid. Ultimately, convenience and quality matter more for staying hydrated than keeping up with influencer culture — although it does help that you can select from a handful of colors to match your personality.

Is $28 still a lot of money to spend on a cup? Sure, but it's better than $35 and this thing is virtually indestructible. You won't need to buy another water bottle like, ever, thanks to Stanley's lifetime guarantee.

Google announced the Pixel 9a last week, but there was one very important bit of information left out: the release date. Rumors suggested a few possible technical issues were contributing to the delay. We finally have a solid release date for this super solid $499 phone, and it's coming up soon.

SAVE $29.01: As of March 28, you can get a four-pack of Apple AirTags for just $69.99 during Amazon's Big Spring Sale, or about $30 off the original price.

Amazon's Big Spring Sale is just about halfway over, but the deals are still going strong. If you're one of those people who is constantly losing their phone, keys, wallet, or another essential item (don't worry, we do too), you'd definitely benefit from some kind of portable tracker. Thankfully, AirTags exist.

It just so happens that during the Big Spring Sale, Apple AirTags are heavily discounted — you can get a four-pack of the pint-sized trackers for just $69.99, which is $29.01 off the original price. $69.99 still isn't cheap, but you'll be happy you made the investment next time you misplace something important.

Not only are AirTags convenient when it comes to size, but also in how you use them. All you need to do is connect the AirTag to your iPhone or iPad, and then you can keep track of wherever it is using the Find My app. That's all there is to it. Each Tag also has a built-in speaker that can play a tone to aid you in your search, and also features a Lost Mode that notifies you whenever the Find My app detects the device nearby. Ensure you never have to worry about losing your stuff again — pick up a four-pack of Apple AirTags during Amazon's Big Spring Sale and save $29.01.

If you're a light sleeper, you probably know the struggle of trying to get some shut-eye and absolutely failing. Just as you drift off to sleep, there's some sort of noise that jars you awake. The end result? You're tired, cranky, and fed up. No one wants that. And if you don't want to wear earplugs, there's no really great solution to keep this from happening – unless you want to invest in something better: earbuds.

As of March 28, get the Anker Soundcore Sleep A20 earbuds for $119.99 at Amazon. That's $30 off their normal price of $149.99 and a discount of 20%.

These buds help you block out any noise that might be keeping you awake, and help you get through the night without interruptions. They offer a pressureless fit for side sleepers, so even if you aren't on your back all night, you don't have to worry about being jostled awake since one fell out due to your position.

They offer a custom sleep playlist for you to listen to, and come with multiple ear and wing tips to make sure you get the most comfortable fit possible. And they're also lightweight and easy to adjust to your ear before locking them in for an all-night fit.

They come with a charging case that gives you 10 nights of sleep, with 14 hours of playback in Sleep mode and 10 hours with Bluetooth. That's 80 hours of listening and 55 hours of streaming content, according to Anker, with a fully charged case. If it's time for a full night's sleep, it's time to try something a little different, but grab them fast since they're part of the Amazon Big Spring Sale.

SAVE $80: Shop the Lenovo Tab M9 for its lowest price ever of $69.99, down from $149.99. Save $80 on the tablet when purchased at Best Buy for 53% off. Or get it at Amazon for the also great price of $79.99.

Amazon's second annual Big Spring Sale kicked off this week (it runs through March 30) to bring a shower of deals across categories. The tech savings are pretty good — we've spotted savings on Macbooks and iPads. But don't fear, Android users, you can get in the deals game too.

The Lenovo Tab M9 is a worthy competitor in the tablet field. With a nine-inch display, it's a perfect canvas for streaming and with a long battery life, offering up to 13 hours of video playback, you can watch on the go.

It possesses a MTK G80 Octa Core processor and 32GB of storage, making it a decent set-up for gaming and browsing. Plus, it comes with a Google Lens camera so you can capture moments on the go.

Admittedly, 32GB isn't a great amount of storage, considering Apple just upped its iPads base storage to 128GB. However, the Lenovo is just half the price of the iPad, so some sacrifices might have to be made.

Usually starting at $149.99, the Lenovo is over half off thanks to Amazon's Big Spring Sale. But the best deal is actually at Best Buy. Right now, you can find the Lenovo Tab M9 for just $69.99, saving you $80 off for 53% savings. That's the lowest price ever on the device.

But if you prefer to shop it at Amazon, you can find it for $79.99 during the Big Spring Sale. That saves you $70 off, a great deal if Best Buy hadn't beaten the price.

We know that Dyson deals make a lot of noise during major shopping events like the Amazon Spring Sale, but not everyone wants to drop hundreds of dollars on a vacuum. Where is the love for the budget-friendly vacuums?

We're providing the love, because we think we've lined up the best cheap vacuum deal from the Big Spring Sale. As of March 26, the Levoit LVAC-200 cordless vacuum is on sale for $149.99 in the Amazon Big Spring Sale, saving you $50 on list price. It's not got all the advanced features that you might get with a Dyson or Shark, but this vacuuum gets the job done.

Frankly, we think the Levoit LVAC-200 cordless vacuum represents good value for money at full price, so a $50 discount is hard to ignore. It even has LED lights on the front so you can quickly spot dust and dirt, a feature that is usually limited to the more expensive models.

Unless you're really trying to save space on the floor, there's little reason to not opt for a self-emptying robot vacuum these days. Automated vacuuming likely means more frequent vacuuming, and more frequent vacuuming means faster dustbin filling. And at this point, that shouldn't be your problem.

Automatic dustbin emptying has become such a mainstream robot vacuum feature that a ton of self-emptying robot vacs are solidly in the sub-$500 range — and even more models join that club when there's a big sale event. The latest one happens to line up perfectly with spring cleaning season: Amazon's second Big Spring Sale is happening from March 25 and March 31. And Amazon is extremely well-versed in robot vacuum deals.

With record-low prices popping up from the sale, your budget could wind up covering even more convenience-related features than you originally expected — further minimizing the amount of time you spend doing maintenance-related tasks for the vacuum. If you're set on a robot vacuum that mops, many self-empty docks in the list below also have water tanks and fans for self-washing and drying of the mopping pads after each use.

I'm tracking the best deals on self-emptying robot vacuum deals ahead of Amazon's sale below. Note: Deals with a 🔥 next to them have dropped to record-low prices.

When my favorite robot vacuum from 2024 drops to a new record-low price, of course that's the deal I'm going to recommend. But the deal looks even better when put in context with a 2025 Roborock that I'm testing right now. Compared to the 2025 Saros 10R, which goes for $1,599.99, you'd be getting a premium Roborock from 2024 with almost all of the same features for half the price.

The Qrevo Master obviously empties its own dustbin, but it extends that automated maintenance to automatic mopping pad washing and drying (plus automatic water tank refills) in that same dock. In my experience, this self-sustaining mopping pad situation makes me way more likely to actually use the robot mop — because otherwise, I end up forgoing a mopping cycle all together because I don't feel like washing the dirty pad by hand all the time.

The Qrevo Master also brings home premium features like flexible corner and edge mopping, automatic mop lifting when carpet is sensed, and a livestream pet camera. Its 10,000 Pa of suction power isn't as juicy as the 20,000 Pa on the pricey Saros 10R, but it's still more powerful than most other vacuums in this list.

The hardcover version of Atomic Habits by James Clear is only $9.66 right now (with an on-page coupon), down from its usual $27 list price. That’s way cheaper than what you’ll find it for on the shelves. If you prefer the Kindle edition, that’s on sale for $12.99.

Atomic Habits is one of the most popular self-help books of the last few years, with over 20 million copies sold. It’s all about building better habits, one tiny change at a time — the perfect read if you're trying to make improvements in your life.

Amazon is hosting its second-ever Big Spring Sale from March 25 to 31, its first major savings event of the year. While the sale mainly revolves around deals on warm-weather essentials and cleaning products, the Mashable Shopping team is also seeing it prompt some of the season's best prices on Apple devices, including the fruit company's latest wearable: Every configuration of last fall's Apple Watch Series 10 is now on sale at its all-time low, saving shoppers up to $120.

Those interested in a different model will have to be less picky or more patient. The second-gen Apple Watch SE is $80 off across the board — a discount that brings the cellular version down to its lowest price on record, but not the GPS-only variant. (It's still $20 away.) Meanwhile, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is only $30 to $64.11 off on Amazon, depending on the color and band style. We've previously seen it drop by $80 to $120, so hold off on buying it for now.

Don't worry about monitoring prices yourself — we've already got it handled. Read on for our running list of the best Apple Watch deals on Amazon during its Big Spring Sale, which we plan on updating regularly as the event progresses into next week. Note: Deals with a 🔥 next to them have dropped to record-low prices.

Amazon's Big Spring Sale is officially here. While the sale, which runs from March 25 through 31, focuses mainly on more seasonal-centric items like grilling equipment and gardening supplies, last year we saw plenty of headphones and speakers deals go live during the week-long event. And this year appears no different.

Overall, we don't expect as dramatic markdowns as Amazon tends to offer during Prime Day or Black Friday. But since most of this sale is open to all shoppers — not just Prime members — it's a decent time to double-check your shopping list, whether you're in the market for a new TV or some Tile trackers.

Check out our full review of the Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds.

The best noise-cancelling earbuds we've tested and our favorite earbuds for travel, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds, are hella impressive. They check all the right boxes: long battery life, easy connectivity, comfortable and secure fit, and unbeatable noise cancellation. Mashable contributor Timothy Beck Werth writes, "Bose's noise cancellation is so good that I often use these earbuds when I'm not even listening to music." At $219, they're not exactly cheap, but that 27% discount certainly beats paying the full $299.

Check out our full review of the JBL Charge 5.

The JBL Charge 5 tops our list of the best Bluetooth speakers as the ultimate all-rounder. "It’s rich, dynamic, and surprisingly clear with a decent bass that fills the room without overpowering the rest of the audio," our reviewer writes. Other perks are its impressive 20-hour battery life, sturdy build, and ability to charge other mobile devices via USB-A (even if it's playing music). While it's not down to its best price ever, it's not every day we see it drop down to $119.95.
