Out in the woods of New Zealand, the crew of The Legend of Zelda movie from Nintendo and Sony Pictures is hard at work trying to bring the kingdom of Hyrule to life. Filming outside is sure to give the highly anticipated project an authentic feel, but it comes with an unintended consequence. Videos from the set are making their way online, including the first looks at both Bo Bragason and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth in costume as Zelda and Link, respectively.
The first video (via Twisted Voxel) features Bragason’s Zelda in an outfit that resembles her one from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. She’s taking in the sights before returning to her travelling partner, a character played by Severance actor Dichen Lachman. Nintendo has yet to announce Lachman’s involvement in the movie, so her role is a mystery. However, she resembles Impa, Zelda’s bodyguard, who appears in her fair share of entries in the video game series.
As for Ainsworth, he’s also present, wearing the iconic green outfit Link is synonymous with. The video doesn’t show the costume in all its glory, but it looks fairly accurate, which shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. After all, director Wes Ball has been very vocal about his love for the source material and his drive to do it justice.
