Our first look at the cast of the live-action Legend of Zelda movie has leaked online.

Captured in New Zealand, the video appears to show the cast in action, and while we can't hear anything meaningful, we do get a glimpse at Bo Bragason as the titular Zelda.

A separate snippet, presumably taken at or near the same time, also shows Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Link, too, complete in his signature green outfit. You can check it out below:

Last week things moved forward with the live-action Legend of Zelda film, which has now commenced production. It follows in the footsteps of esteemed movies and shows like Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings series by filming in Wellington, New Zealand.

Earlier this year, it was announced that Link and Princess Zelda will be played by Benjamin Evan Ainsworth and Bo Bragason, respectively, in the upcoming adaptation, which is currently set for release in 2027.

ICYMI, Nintendo and Lego recently teased a new set based on The Legend of Zelda, which looks to be based on Ocarina of Time.
