Nintendo has shared the first official images from its upcoming Legend of Zelda movie, set to premiere on May 7, 2027. The release marks the start of filming in New Zealand and gives fans a first look at how Link and Zelda will appear on screen.
The three photos, published in the Nintendo Today app, show the characters against sweeping landscapes and in close-up shots.
Link, played by Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, wears his classic green tunic, a notable shift from the blue outfit seen in recent games like Breath of the Wild. Zelda, portrayed by Bo Bragason, is dressed in blue and carries a bow, which might mean a more active role in the story.
The costume choices have already sparked speculation about which timeline the film might follow. Early signs suggest it will not stick to one era but instead blend elements from across the series to create a new narrative.
Details remain limited, and a trailer is still far off, but these images confirm that production is moving forward. For now, fans can only speculate about how the film will adapt one of Nintendo’s most iconic franchises.
Stay tuned for more updates.
