Here is a comprehensive summary of the article:

The Legend of Zelda is an upcoming live-action fantasy adventure film based on Nintendo's iconic video game series, directed by Wes Ball and written by T. S. Nowlin. The movie stars Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Link, Bo Bragason as Princess Zelda, Uli Latukefu as Ganondorf, and Dichen Lachman as Impa, alongside Yvonne Strahovski and Sam Neill in one of his final roles before his death in July 2026. After an earlier adaptation attempt by Imagi Animation Studios was rejected in 2007 due to the failure of the 1993 Super Mario Bros. film, Nintendo officially announced the project in November 2023, with series creator Shigeru Miyamoto and producer Avi Arad having developed it for years. Principal photography took place from November 2025 to April 2026 in New Zealand, including locations like Glenorchy used in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, with filming conducted under the codename Umami. The film is scheduled for release in the United States on April 30, 2027, distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing.
