"The studio's announcement comes just days after production for The Legend of Zelda began in New Zealand. Fans wasted little time discovering the film's shooting location, sharing clips of its cast in full makeup and costuming. It's not an ideal way to see live-action Link and Zelda for the first time, but Nintendo's response was swift, as Zelda creator Shigeru Miyamoto took to the Nintendo Today app to unveil an official sneak peek at the characters."
"While The Legend of Zelda is a long way off from its 2027 release date, these first-look images might give us an idea of what director Wes Ball has in mind. Nintendo hasn't revealed any specific plot details, or even which game the film will take most of its inspiration from. Based on the choice in costumes, it could be a hodgepodge of different influences."
Production for the live-action The Legend of Zelda is underway in New Zealand with director Wes Ball attached and a 2027 release target. Fans shared location clips showing cast in full makeup and costuming before Nintendo released official photos via Shigeru Miyamoto on the Nintendo Today app. Benjamin Evan Ainsworth appears as Link and Bo Bragason as Princess Zelda in the initial images. Costume choices suggest influences from multiple games, including Twilight Princess and Breath of the Wild, while specific plot details and a primary game inspiration remain unannounced.
