Here’s the latest on Link’s look for the Zelda live-action movie as of late 2025.
-
First official photos released: Nintendo published the initial official images showing Zelda and Link in costume, marking the start of principal photography in New Zealand. Zelda is shown in blue robes reminiscent of Breath of the Wild, while Link’s tunic and overall look nod to classic and Twilight Princess-inspired designs. This is the closest official confirmation we’ve had about their on-screen appearances to date.[4][6]
-
Leaks and fan coverage followed: Several leaked clips and videos circulating online depicted the two in full costume, along with early guesses about supporting characters like Impa. The on-set footage generally aligned with Breath of the Wild and Ocarina of Time-inspired aesthetics, and it corroborated the on-set photos in terms of color palette and costume cues.[3][5][6]
-
Production context and direction: The project is being directed by Wes Ball, with a screenplay by Derek Connolly, and Nintendo is deeply involved in overseeing the adaptation. Filming has taken place in New Zealand, with ongoing beta material and set photos feeding fan discussion while official materials offer the primary reference for appearance.[1][4]
-
What fans are watching for next: Expect more official imagery, wardrobe details, and possibly character reveals (e.g., Impa) as production progresses. A continued stream of set photos and possibly short teaser stills will likely surface before the film’s release window, which remains targeted for a later date after 2027 per industry timelines.[6][1]
