Nintendo has officially revealed the first look at its highly anticipated live-action adaptation of The Legend of Zelda, confirming that the film has entered production.
The news arrives after a weekend of speculation and reported set leaks, intensifying excitement within the global gaming and film communities.
The Legend of Zelda franchise, widely celebrated for its rich storytelling and innovative gameplay on platforms like the Nintendo Switch, has enjoyed tremendous critical and commercial success since its 1986 debut.
Nintendo's announcement not only confirms previous reports about the launch of filming but also gives fans a fresh preview of what to expect from this cinematic endeavor.
In a formal statement, Nintendo acknowledged that principal photography for The Legend of Zelda movie is now underway.
"We are thrilled to begin this new chapter in The Legend of Zelda's history by bringing an iconic world and its beloved characters to the big screen," Nintendo shared through their official channels.
The company also released an official image, offering fans an early glimpse into the production’s vision for the kingdom of Hyrule.
Recent leaks from the set circulated online, hinting at possible surprises and providing an unofficial glimpse at a character not previously announced.
These videos have fueled further anticipation, but Nintendo has kept a tight lid on story details, reiterating its commitment to quality and franchise integrity—a hallmark of the company’s approach to adaptations.
Nintendo has confirmed the casting of Bo Bragason as Princess Zelda and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Link.
These two principal actors are currently the only official cast members announced, underscoring the company’s careful, incremental promotional strategy.
Both Bragason and Ainsworth are poised to bring the legendary characters to life for audiences worldwide.
The Legend of Zelda movie is slated for theatrical release on May 7, 2025.
This date positions the film as one of next year’s most anticipated video game adaptations, reflecting Nintendo's growing involvement in cross-media projects following the global success of other IPs.
The film’s release will mark a significant milestone in Nintendo’s history, bridging the worlds of gaming and cinema for both long-time fans and new audiences.
As production advances, Nintendo has indicated that additional updates, including new images, trailers, and further casting information, will be shared through its official channels and possibly featured in future Nintendo Direct presentations.
Fans eager to follow the movie’s progress are encouraged to stay tuned to Nintendo’s social platforms and the official website for the latest developments on The Legend of Zelda live-action film.
