Shigeru Miyamoto reveals The Legend of Zelda movie will be an “original” story, and there’s a reason it has no subtitle

September 8, 2026 / admin / retro news

New details for the upcoming The Legend of Zelda movie have been revealed, and they’re pretty intriguing. While we didn’t get a trailer for the new film during The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct, Zelda creator Shigeru Miyamoto did reveal some interesting teases.

“The title is The Legend of Zelda,” he explained. “Once you see the film, you’ll understand why there isn’t a subtitle. This is an original film based on the many stories, ideas, and concepts of the series, built up through the games over 40 years.” He also teased that the Triforce will play a part in the new movie.

Directed by Wes Ball, the adaptation stars House of the Dragon’s Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Link and Renegade Nell’s Bo Bragason as Zelda. It also stars Uli Latukefu as Ganondorf, Dichen Lachman as Impa, and Yvonne Strahovski as “a Queen character”.

Speaking earlier this year to GamesRadar+, Ainsworth revealed he was a bit too young to play Breath of the Wild, possibly the best Zelda game of all time, when it was released in 2011, but he did watch a lot of playthroughs.

“Then, upon being fortunate enough to play this role, such an iconic character, going back and realizing the 40 years of legacy and history, and the varied tones, the varied stories, the varied renditions and vocal performances of this character as well,” he explained of his preparation. “Yeah, I’m a big fan, and just really excited, because it was an awesome thing to shoot.”

The Legend of Zelda movie is set to hit theaters worldwide on April 30, 2027. For more game-to-film adaptations, here’s our guide to all the video game movies you need to know about.
