A new leak has surfaced that claims to show footage from the production set The Legend of Zelda film. While many Nintendo fans are looking forward to Galaxy Super Mario movie next year, this new leak could give a teaser of what the upcoming movie will be about Zelda franchise could look like.

After a massive success Super Mario Bros. MovieNintendo has announced that it will be working with Sony to produce a film based on The Legend of Zelda. While the film was announced as early as November 2023, it recently began production in New Zealand. Fans know a few details about the project, including that it will star Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Link and Bo Bragason as Zelda. Additionally, Wes Ball was revealed as the director, having spoken in the past about his passion for the project.

Despite the secretive nature of the project, footage of the cast and crew has potentially been leaked. Several new clips on Instagram claim to show the film in full production in a forest setting. In one of the leaked clips, an actress who looks like Bo Bragason can be seen wearing an outfit similar to what Princess Zelda would wear in the more recent 3D games. In the footage, the actress can be seen walking towards some horses and talking to the new character. Although not confirmed, some fans believe that this character could be Impa.

The other clip in question features a look at Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Link. In the footage, the actor is seen wearing a green tunic similar to the one worn by the iconic Nintendo character in the franchise's games, and is seen donning a cloak of sorts.
