The Legend of Zelda is an upcoming fantasy adventure film based on the video game series by Nintendo. It is directed by Wes Ball, written by T. S. Nowlin, and produced by Columbia Pictures, Nintendo, Arad Productions and OddBall Entertainment. The film stars Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Link and Bo Bragason as Princess Zelda.

A Zelda film adaptation was attempted by Imagi Animation Studios in 2007, but was declined by Nintendo because of the failure of the 1993 Super Mario Bros. film. Nintendo announced the film in 2023 after having been developed by the Zelda creator, Shigeru Miyamoto, and the film's co-producer, Avi Arad, for several years. Principal photography began in November 2025, four months after Ainsworth and Bragason's casting was announced, and wrapped in April 2026.

The Legend of Zelda is scheduled for release in the United States on April 30, 2027, distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing.
