First Clear Look At Link's Full Film Outfit Emerges

The Legend of Zelda live-action movie adaptation has wrapped filming in New Zealand, and the first clear behind-the-scenes look at Link’s full outfit is now making the rounds. Director of photography Gyula Pados reportedly shared an Instagram post showing the clapper used during filming, which carried concept art of the Hylian hero in his traditional green tunic, pointy cap, and with the Master Sword at his side. That matters because Nintendo’s earlier images only showed partial looks at the leads, so this is the first time fans can see the film’s take on Link’s full silhouette.

The film is due to release on 7th May, 2027, and it will stream on Netflix after its theatrical run. For players who’ve spent years arguing over whether Link should stick with green or shift toward the blue tunics of the newer games, this look gives the movie’s costume team a clear signal about where they’re pulling from.

About The Legend of Zelda

The Legend of Zelda is listed here as a video game for Nintendo Wii U and Nintendo Switch, and the film adaptation clearly reaches back into that history. The source specifically points to earlier entries such as Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess when discussing Link’s green tunic, while Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom get singled out for primarily using blue tunics. That contrast matters because the movie’s design choices already suggest a more classic take on Link rather than a straight lift from the newer games.

Nintendo previously shared images of Bo Bragason as Princess Zelda and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Link, but those shots didn’t show the characters’ outfits in full. Ainsworth’s Link also appeared capless in those earlier images, and he didn’t hold the series’ iconic sword, which left plenty of room for speculation. Now the clapper art fills in those blanks and shows a version of Link that feels much closer to the older game imagery fans know so well.
