Bo Bragason has raised hopes of a The Legend of Zelda movie trailer after posting that she was “excited 4 tomorrow” on Instagram. Nintendo and Sony have not confirmed that a trailer or teaser is coming, and the message did not name the film.
The timing has encouraged fans to speculate because the live-action film has yet to show any footage. IGN reports that Nintendo and Sony have released only a handful of official photos of Bragason as Zelda and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Link, while the wider cast remains officially unconfirmed.
The Legend of Zelda movie trailer speculation has one clue
Bragason regularly posts about her work, but she has also said she cannot discuss the Zelda film in detail. Her Instagram message could refer to another project or event, so it is not evidence that a trailer is scheduled.
Nintendo’s recent Zelda-focused presentation confirmed that the film is officially titled The Legend of Zelda and will tell an original story inspired by the series, rather than adapting one specific game. The company did not show footage during that presentation. Earlier reporting covered the film’s leaked concept art, while the release-date update is here.
The film is directed by Wes Ball, whose credits include The Maze Runner and Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. Shigeru Miyamoto and Avi Arad are producing, with Sony distributing the film. Nintendo’s official announcement lists a worldwide cinema release on April 30, 2027.
What has been confirmed about the Zelda film?
Bragason is confirmed as Princess Zelda, with Ainsworth playing Link. Nintendo’s official announcement confirms the film’s title, original-story approach and April 30, 2027 release date.
IGN’s report is the source for Bragason’s Instagram post and the absence of an announced trailer. Variety’s first-look coverage carries the earlier official images of the two leads.
The cast reported by trade outlets includes Dichen Lachman, Uli Latukefu, Yvonne Strahovski, Lydia Peckham and the late Sam Neill, although several roles have not been formally announced by Nintendo or Sony. The trailer, if one is coming, would be the first chance to see how the film’s version of Hyrule looks in motion.
For now, Bragason’s post is a reason to watch for an announcement, not confirmation that one is on the way. The film remains scheduled for cinemas worldwide on April 30, 2027, with local UAE showtimes still unconfirmed.
Has Nintendo confirmed a trailer for The Legend of Zelda movie?
