Nintendo has officially revealed the lead cast for its highly anticipated live-action The Legend of Zelda movie, confirming that Bo Bragason will play Princess Zelda and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth will portray Link. The film is now slated for a theatrical release on May 7, 2027.
The details:
-
Bo Bragason (21) previously appeared in Renegade Nell (Netflix) and The Jetty (BBC); her look in the reveal image channels Zelda’s Breath of the Wild style.
-
Benjamin Evan Ainsworth (16) is best known for his role in The Haunting of Bly Manor and appears in a green tunic resembling Link’s classic look.
-
The film is directed by Wes Ball (Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes), written by Derek Connolly (Jurassic World), and co-produced by Shigeru Miyamoto and Avi Arad.
-
Initially scheduled for March, the release was delayed to May 7, 2027 to allow extra production time and avoid a crowded spring blockbuster slate.
