Images released Monday on the Nintendo Today app showcase young actors Bo Bragason and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as the magical Princess Zelda and the green-clad swordsman Link, respectively, in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/t\/sony\/\" id=\"auto-tag_sony_1\" data-tag=\"sony\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sony<\/a> and Nintendo\u2019s upcoming big-screen adaptation. The stills show the pair standing in a sun-drenched meadow, Zelda gripping her signature bow and arrow while both wear faithful recreations of the characters\u2019 classic Hylian costumes \u2014 complete with pointed ears.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tWes Ball, the filmmaker behind Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes and The Maze Runner trilogy, directs the long-awaited adaptation, which is set to hit theaters on May 7, 2027.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tNintendo legend Shigeru Miyamoto, who is producing the film, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/movies\/movie-news\/legend-of-zelda-film-bo-bragason-benjamin-evan-ainsworth-1236316319\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">revealed the casting<\/a> earlier this year, writing, \u201cI am pleased to announce that for the live-action film of \u2018The Legend of Zelda,\u2019 Zelda will be played by Bo Bragason-san, and Link by Benjamin Evan Ainsworth-san. I am very much looking forward to seeing both of them on the big screen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tBritish actress Bragason is best known for her roles in BBC One\u2019s Three Girls and The Jetty, as well as Disney+\u2019s Renegade Nell. She also starred in Euros Lyn\u2019s vampire comedy The Radleys. Ainsworth, also English, voiced the title role in Robert Zemeckis\u2019 Pinocchio and played Miles in Netflix\u2019s The Haunting of Bly Manor. He currently stars in the Canadian comedy Son of a Critch and appeared in The Sandman on Netflix.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tFor longtime fans, the first-look images should offer some reassurance that Nintendo and Sony\u2019s adaptation is embracing the fantasy-adventure tone that made the game series one of the best-selling in history. If Zelda\u2019s big-screen debut matches the high bar set by 2023\u2019s billion-dollar Super Mario Bros. Movie, Nintendo\u2019s nascent cinematic universe could be poised for a new era of Hyrulean glory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nintendo has offered fans their first glimpse of The Legend of Zelda\u2019s leap into live action.
