Overview
- Multiple outlets report that Benjamin Evan Ainsworth will play Link with Bo Bragason cast as Princess Zelda for the studio's live-action adaptation.
- Ainsworth told GamesRadar+ he was too young to own a Nintendo Switch when Breath of the Wild launched and learned the game by watching playthroughs.
- Reporting says principal photography wrapped earlier in 2026 in New Zealand and the production has moved into post-production and pre-release planning.
- Distributors and outlets place the film in a spring 2027 worldwide release window, with different reports giving April 30 and May 7 as possible dates and no single official date confirmed.
- Coverage so far is limited to guarded cast interviews and production updates, and the next signs to watch for are an official release date, trailer or coordinated marketing from Nintendo.
