Unverified ‘Legend of Zelda’ Set Clips Surface as Filming Continues in New Zealand

Unverified clips surfaced during the Wellington shoot, pointing to a months-long production before a May 2027 release.

Overview

  • Principal photography is underway in Wellington, New Zealand, on a shoot expected to run roughly six months through April next year.
  • Short videos posted on social platforms reportedly show a forest location, horses with crest-like gear, and costume glimpses that recall Breath of the Wild.
  • One clip appears to show an older Link in a green tunic donning a cloak, with fans also noting a horse some believe resembles Epona.
  • Viewers believe the footage includes Bo Bragason as Zelda and speculate that Dichen Lachman appears as Impa, though neither role is officially confirmed.
  • Benjamin Evan Ainsworth remains the only confirmed cast member as Link, with Wes Ball directing from a script by Derek Connolly and T. S. Nowlin for a May 7, 2027 theatrical release.
