Live-Action Zelda Wraps Filming as Deleted Clapperboard Post Teases First Look at Link

A deleted crew post offered the first unofficial glimpse of Link’s look, signaling early design choices.

Overview

  • The production has completed principal photography in New Zealand and moved into post-production.
  • Cinematographer Gyula Pados shared and then deleted a clapperboard photo Monday that showed Link artwork and the codename “Umami.”
  • The image shows a green tunic, the Master Sword, a shield on Link’s back, and a cape, which outlets compared to Twilight Princess-era designs.
  • Reporters note the clapperboard image likely reflects concept art rather than Benjamin Evan Ainsworth’s final on-screen costume.
  • Nintendo and Arad Productions set a May 7, 2027 theatrical release with Ainsworth as Link and Bo Bragason as Zelda, while talk of a multi-film plan remains unconfirmed.
