The Legend of Zelda is an upcoming fantasy adventure film based on the video game series by Nintendo. Produced by Columbia Pictures, Nintendo, Arad Productions and OddBall Entertainment, it is being directed by Wes Ball and written by Derek Connolly and T. S. Nowlin. Benjamin Evan Ainsworth and Bo Bragason will respectively star as Link and Princess Zelda.
A film adaptation of the Zelda video games was first attempted by Imagi Animation Studios in 2007, but was declined by Nintendo because of the failure of the 1993 Super Mario Bros. film. The film was announced by Nintendo in 2023 after having been developed by series creator Shigeru Miyamoto and co-producer Avi Arad for multiple years. Principal photography began in November 2025, four months after Ainsworth and Bragason's casting was announced, and is expected to wrap in April 2026.
The Legend of Zelda is scheduled to be released in the United States on May 7, 2027, distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing.
