CinemaCon is currently taking place in Las Vegas and Sony Pictures had a small bit of news to share about the upcoming The Legend of Zelda film during their panel. Co-produced by Nintendo and directed by Wes Ball, filming has officially wrapped in New Zealand for the live-action adaptation. Now moving into post-production, The Legend of Zelda hits theaters on 7th May 2027, with Benjamin Evan Ainsworth starring as Link and Bo Bragason as Princess Zelda.
The Legend of Zelda movie has wrapped filming

I can’t wait to see this! I’m excited to see all the side characters come to life on the big screen.
I know asking for my goat Tingle is probably too much lol… but I’d love to see Beetle, at some point!
97 comments on this article alone? Dear lord, I wonder what the conversation spiraled into this time
HELP ME!!
Yuffie is best FF7 waifu
I could be misremembering, but I feel like when I discovered this website over a decade ago, a lot of articles had 100+ comments and they were a mess too
That’s true. It’s one of the reasons I come to this to be honest. The chaos in the comment section is more entertaining than most of the news itself. I remember a guy who would role play as a Metroid federation force member in the comments
I think I have been at this website since maybe october or november of last year? But this is the most I have ever seen, but I remember some sonic articles got high up there like the amy voice actress reveal and the article about sonic’s crossworld underperformance. I am glad to see some humans here!
I just reread the comment section, and I want to say that around 30-40% of the comments are from that fight between bella and ice fan. Also at the bottom I create an alt email and tried creating a reimaging of mother 3 because puppet master pissed me off.
I am happy to hear they’ve wrapped up filming, and I imagine we’ll get our first trailer this summer ☀️
While I would have preferred Nintendo and Universal to go the animated route, I still have high hopes for this movie 🎬
I still think LoZ would fare better as an episodic series- I can’t imagine them being able to fit an entire Zelda experience into a ~2 hour movie when the games take so much longer, even without side content (and disregarding speedruns, obviously).
That’s a fair take
Please be based on Ocarina of time.
@Mason – The reason the games take longer is because of all the dungeons. Nobody would want to sit though a 8 hour series or movie watching Link collect endless keys in dungeons 😂
It will be done like the Mario bros movie, nice and simple.
There should be puzzles, no cool puzzles then no watching!
Well don’t watch it then lol 😂
Beyond excited for this. Will be taking my 12 year old with me to see it. He’s just played a couple Zelda games, hoping this spurs more interest for him 😁
Oh no, Dark Samus what have you done!?! Based on previous zelda movie articles, people would say the same thing you are saying, and then it triggers a politcal dumpster fire comment section. Hopefully the idiotic politicains wont see your comment and go crazy. I am not even that mad at you, I am just scared of what is to come.
(suggestion: this Biblical verse: “Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.” – Ephesians 4:29, New Living Translation version)
Genesis 1:27 So God created mankind in His own image, in the image of God He created them; male and female He created them.
Deuteronomy 22:5 A woman must not wear men’s clothing, nor a man wear women’s clothing, for the Lord your God detests anyone who does this.
Get outta here with your fucking fairy tails.
Frostie, I thought you were overreacting but now we got death threats, people quoting the bible, and a lot of hate.
You saw the future.
They have to at least include this song during the end credits, i remember the concert when the singer mentioned ‘epona is also the horse from the legend of zelda’ and everyone lost their shit.

Looks like we’ve got the next Charlie Kirk here folks.
Does your neck feel painful? It will soon. 😊
I wanted a normal comment section today! Hopefully SickR will delete these comments before this fully dissolves into chaos.
You wanted a normal conversation…. while poking the bear with that guy who brought in transphobia and politics and bible scripture….
Person A: “I’m glad female character is female.”
Person B: “You deserve to be shot and [censored].”
Lades and gentlemen, who is the normal person here? Person A or Person B?
Playing stupid? You know exactly what they meant by saying that.
Guessing you’re just yet another worthless transphobe.
Y’all will get what you deserve, just like Kirk did.
If you intentionally spread hate to marginalised groups, you don’t deserve mercy.
Wait… The irony of someone saying people who disagree with them deserve to die is the person saying others are spreading hate.
You can’t make this stuff up.
People who spread hate to marginalised groups for no reason deserve to be hated in return. It’s really not difficult to understand, christ you right wingers are dumb.
Your side started this by spreading your hateful ignorance, we’re just responding to it.
The world would be a better place without the whole lot of you in it, that’s just a fact.
Who said I’m right wing? Being level headed and not advocating for murder doesn’t make someone right wing. Maybe step away from your keyboard and have human interaction sometime.
You are defending right wing scum, therefore you deserve the same fate as them.
Who am I defending by pointing out an ironic comment? Everything is the blackest black and whitest white for liberals. There’s no room for discourse. If you’re not a radical liberal then you are clearly a far right fascist. Geez man, step away from your keyboard for a change and have a genuine human interaction.
Yep, knew you were fucking conservative scum. Only right-wing chuds spout garbage like that.
Go fuck yourself you worthless sack of shit.
Homosexuality and transgenderism are sins. And you’re not helping your case by making literal death threats.
Get outta here with your fucking fairy tails.
You know, using a smiling emoji doesn’t make you not seem like an evil person. It actually makes you seem more evil because it’s like your psychotic. Coupled that with the paranoid language and death threats and… jeez, you lose any veneer of virtue. Seriously, I’m not even trying to put you down here or anything. Please reconsider your language if you’re not just being a troll here.
We’ve tried playing nice with you bigots before, tried educating you and giving you a chance to change your ways.
Nothing worked.
You all brought what’s coming upon yourselves. When the revolution comes you’ll all be held accountable for all the hatred you’ve spewed, one way or another.
You are on the wrong side of history, fascist.
I’m laughing now because the only thing I’m bigoted towards is modern Pokemon games and I’m reading your comment like that’s what you’re referring to.
btw it’s spelled “Ciao”
“Chao” is something made by Sega and needs to make another garden mode
The fact that you find bigotry funny, and openly defend bigots, is all I need to know about you.
Actually fucking kill yourself you worthless fascist. You all deserve bullets to the neck.
You’re saying things that aren’t true though. I know I haven’t defended any bigots in the comments here. In fact… I don’t think I’ve defended anyone here. How can I take you seriously when you’re seeing things that aren’t there?
If you want my honest opinion, I don’t think you care to learn what my opinions are. You don’t want to have a conversation. You just want to pop off at someone so you’ll make up reasons to hate someone and threaten them. Because that’s how you come across.
You are all defending a transphobe (Dark Samus). Therefore you are all objectively terrible people and deserve everything you get.
You are hateful insects that deserve to be crushed, and eventually will be. The groups that right-wing bigots have trampled upon the rights of all these years are sick of it, and they’re coming for you.
When did I defend Dark Samus? Personally, I rolled my eyes the first time I read the comment.
If ignoring lazy ragebait but speaking out against death threats makes me an insect, then I guess I’m an insect.
Person A is. Wishing death upon someone for wanting a fictional character to be played by an actor of the same gender is insanity.
So you admit you don’t view trans women as real women?
Go fuck yourself and jump off a bridge, bigot.
Way to put words in my mouth. I admitted nothing in my previous comment.
“Wishing death upon someone for wanting a fictional character to be played by an actor of the same gender is insanity”
By saying this you are saying that Hunter Schafer is not a real woman, as this is what the whole Zelda casting debacle has been about and what that fucking scum Dark Samus was getting at.
You are either ignorant to this whole situation, or you are purposely playing stupid.
Either way, you are not an ally.
You have a very hateful soul. I am done replying to you. I pity you. Have a nice life.
Yep, I knew you wouldn’t have a response to that you worthless sack of shit. No justification for your bigotry.
Like I said, the world would objectively be a better place without you in it. I’m not sorry for saying it.
Bella, you seriously are being such a jerk to nice people. You should never wish anyone to die. Just back off and chill, you are assuming everyone is a republican and they are the worst, but you realize that not everyone is a republican. I am not even into politics but assuming all republicans and democrats are bad people is simply wrong. You are in the wrong and you know it.
You are all defending a transphobe (Dark Samus). Therefore you are all objectively terrible people and deserve everything you get.
YOU are in the wrong, and you know it. Karma will catch up to you eventually.
I mean…. that’s what was insinuated… this all being in reference to hunter being casted. Because the reference wouldn’t make sense otherwise let’s not gaslight and speak in I never said while its very much implied and hinted at
Obviously they are not real women. You expect people to play pretend?
Your boyfriend Trump is on borrowed time 😊
Try not to join the 41%
Try not to get severe neck pain like your ex-boyfriend Charlie 😂
You will never be a real woman
And you will never be a real man with that microscopic thing between your legs 😂
It’s amazing how wanting a real female to play a female character is enough to start WW3
Americans voting an actual retard into office is what started WW3, actually.
I truly hope Link doesn’t speak… Can’t lose its magic and touch just because a couple of kids who were born after 2010 don’t know anything about the saga.
I hope it winds up looking better than the shooting picture we’ve seen – it looks like pretty amateurish at the moment
His name is twink and he’s obviously male…..
The moment I saw there were 38 comments, I knew what the comment section would be all about.
What a fucking moron lmao.
Go on, send me the reply you clearly were intending to post, you fucking bigot apologist.
Weird, I can’t reply to you, but you are still commenting. If you can read this, just know I am not defending anyone besides Cfg and Zeepeep, who are people who just said that you shouldn’t wish someone to be dead, that doesn’t make them transphobes. You’re simply making bold claims that are proven false. Let’s just let this war end. No one will win. Agree?
I think the reply button disappears once a reply chain gets to a certain length. You have to just reply to the closest parent post in that scenario.
You’re good peoples MrFrost64 <3
Thanks, Bella and that one guy who told people they deserve to die really did offend me. I once had a friend who became trans, but they sadly killed themselves from people making fun of her. I am fine if people don’t support it, but telling people to kill themselves because of what they support made me remember when I lost a close friend of mine because people were mocking her. But zeepzeep and cfg were fighting back those awful comments, which made me feel at peace. Thank you.
Sorry to hear that my friend, you should not be ok with people not supporting trans rights. These people just want to live their lives peacefully without harming anyone, and anyone who doesn’t support their peace of mind is ignorant and should be either change their ways or be completely ignored. Transphobia is hatred whatever is passive or not.
Again sorry for your loss pal.
Thank you.
Figures that the schitzo with stupid opinions and has Blah live rent free in their head doesn’t know being trans is a sin.
Here’s a question: why would you take issue with me wishing death upon such a worthless piece of shit like Dark Samus?
People like that are an active cancer on society, a source of bigoted hatred against a group of people who’ve already had to endure far too much. They actively go out of their way to make life more difficult for these innocent people.
The world would objectively be a better place without them, so why exactly do you feel the need to stick up for them?
Majority of people don’t have micro-penises, yet here you are. 😭
Majority of people don’t like playing pretend because of a tiny minority of mentally ill men that think they are women
Majority of people don’t get microscopic hard-ons for a 79-year old retard with a bad spray-tan, yet again, here you are. 😭
Comments sections were a mistake
Are you really asking why someone would take issue with someone wishing death on another person because they have an ideological disagreement? Is there really any justification for taking a human life unless it’s immediately endangering other human lives? And no, Dark Samus’ comment was not endangering anybody’s life.
There’s literally a person here making jokes about trans suicide, and you don’t think this shit endangers trans lives?
What a lovely little bubble world you must live in.
The irony of living in a bubble lmao
Shhh, I know your dreams of sucking off Trump are just a fantasy, don’t cry dearie.
Projection. I am happy I am not part of the 41%
But you are part of the 0.1% of the population with a micro-penis. 😭
It’s okay, I know that’s why you lash out. I’m sure your daddy Trump won’t mind.
Seethe and dilate 🤣
Bro still hasn’t denied having a micro-penis lmaoo 😭
But you were making death wishes long before the ICE Fan commented. How do you rationalize that? In fact, to my surprise, someone commented how your death wishes triggered an emotional response in them. Do you feel sorry for that at all?
You really must be a fucking moron. People have been posting abhorent anti-trans shit for literal MONTHS on this site, literally joking about trans suicide on multiple articles. And it’s only NOW that you’re getting upset about it because I told some objective POS to kill themselves? Fuck off.
Relax bro
I like how you haven’t once denied my allegations of you having a micro-penis lmaooo.
At least you’re honest little buddy.
Bro still hasn’t denied having a micro-penis lmaoo 😭
41%
0.1% 😭
You must be looking at something I’m not because I usually just see comments simping for female Sonic characters.
I’m tired of this so I’ll let you and ICE Fan continue your competition for who loves micropenises more. You both have the same energy, fyi. If I can make one last appeal to your senses… however ICE Fan looks to you is how YOU look to most average people and maybe worse because you are making death wishes. It literally hurts the cause your “fighting” for.
I am just spreading love to counter his hate
It’s a shame daddy Trump doesn’t return your love, huh?😭
Shame he’s not doing more to help citizens living with micro-penisis huh? I bet that must’ve stung. 😭
It’s amazing how wanting an actual female to play a female character is enough to cause WW3
It’s ok to just admit you were having an episode and the meds finally kicked in. We’ve all been there.
Not reading that long ahh chatgpt comment bro
Lmao
Puppet master, you know that my trans friend killed herself after people kept mocking her? You disguest me. Hopefully you get your ass banned of this website.
“Herself”? Surely you mean “himself” my dear chap?
Greetings Fool! My name is Master Porky and I am roughly 500,000 years old. Your pure hatred towards Gigyas shall no longer stand. Embrace the wrath of the pig king!
Not on my watch! your the one that killed my mother!
I shall bring my honor my father’s name. Prepare for battle, porky!
Oh fools! You should know that I have dealt with humans with special power’s before. I would have won if it weren’t for the fall of the devil machine! But with age and time in my hand, the universe shall be mine!
PK FIRE!!
