- The Legend of Zelda will stream exclusively on Netflix after its theatrical and home entertainment windows as part of the newly announced arrangement.
- The multi-year Pay-1 deal begins this year, with Zelda singled out among the first Sony Pictures titles headed to Netflix alongside films like The Nightingale, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, and Sam Mendes’ Beatles project.
- Filming is underway in New Zealand, with Benjamin Evan Ainsworth playing Link and Bo Bragason portraying Princess Zelda.
- Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto and Avi Arad are producing, Wes Ball is directing, and Derek Connolly wrote the screenplay.
- The film is slated for a 2027 release—Eurogamer reports May 7—while Deadline says Amazon was previously in the mix and reports a $7 billion valuation for the pact that Sony and Netflix have not confirmed.
