contents We study nonlocal minimal surfaces as a new approximation theory for the area functional, and more specifically in the context of Yau's conjecture on the existence of minimal surfaces in closed three-dimensional manifolds. This programme offers an alternative to the Almgren--Pitts and Allen--Cahn approaches, with advantageous features both from the existence and regularity viewpoints. We build on recent work in which the author and collaborators constructed infinitely many nonlocal $s$-minimal hypersurfaces (via min-max methods) on any closed $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold $M$, establishing a full analogue of Yau's conjecture for $s\in(0,1)$. The present article first proves a Weyl-type Law for the fractional perimeters of these hypersurfaces. The rest -- and main part -- of the article is devoted to obtaining uniform estimates (in the classical limit $s\to 1$) for min-max $s$-minimal surfaces in closed three-manifolds, eventually establishing their convergence to smooth, classical minimal surfaces. We recover in particular recent results on existence, generic density and equidistribution of minimal surfaces, which are a strong form of Yau's conjecture in this setting.
