Unofficial versions of The Legend of Zelda have recently surfaced online. News about the filming of the live-action movieEarlier, Nintendo released three official stills to players worldwide through its Nintendo Today App, announcing that filming has officially commenced.
Link and Salda pose for photos in New Zealand.
Among the newly released stills, one shows Link, played by Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, and Princess Zelda, played by Bo Bragason, standing side by side against the backdrop of New Zealand's lush and magnificent mountains. Close-up costume photos of the two main characters have also been released.
Aside from the stills, Nintendo has not provided any further information, only reiterating that the film will be released as scheduled.January 2027, 5 Released.
The eclectic style of her outfits has sparked speculation about the timeline, and Zelda's bow-wielding poses a possibility that she is not the "princess awaiting rescue."
Despite the scarcity of information, the styling details in the stills have already sparked heated discussions among fans. The most crucial point is:
• Link: He wears his signature "green tunic," rather than the main "blue champion's outfit" from Breath of the Wild and Kingdom Tears.
• Zelda: They were dressed in blue clothing similar to that in Breath of the Wild, and were carrying a bow and arrow.
This eclectic style makes it difficult for outsiders to guess which game's timeline the film will follow. However, a more reasonable speculation is that the live-action film will not strictly adhere to any single storyline, but will instead mash up classic elements from various games to create an independent original story.
In addition, Princess Zelda's battle stance with a bow and arrow has excited many fans, who hope that in 2025, this titled heroine will no longer be just a "princess in distress" waiting for rescue, but will be able to personally fight off the enemy.
Since filming has only just begun, it is expected that it will be a long time before the first official trailer is released.
