The Legend Of Zelda Movie’s Hyrule Will Look Familiar

by

I’m so excited – they’re finally starting to film the live-action Legend of Zelda movie! And get this – it’s being shot in the same place they filmed Lord of the Rings! As a huge fan of both series, that’s just awesome to hear.

The films based on The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit were shot in New Zealand. Although J.R.R. Tolkien based some of his Middle-earth landscapes on England, the filmmakers chose New Zealand for its beautiful scenery and unspoiled landscapes, which were perfect for creating a believable fantasy world.

The live-action Legend of Zelda movie is heading to New Zealand for filming, according to IGN. It looks like Hyrule will be brought to life in a location near Australia.

The Legend Of Zelda Movie Production Is Gearing Up

Documents show that a live-action Legend of Zelda movie is currently being made, with filming scheduled for Wellington, New Zealand. Wellington was famously used for the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit films – places like Rivendell and Helm’s Deep were filmed there. The area has beautiful scenery that would be perfect for bringing the world of Hyrule to life.

The Legend of Zelda movie is currently scheduled for release on May 7, 2027, but that date is likely to change. Since filming hasn’t begun, a delay is expected. The fact that production has started – meaning they’re building sets – is a positive sign that the movie is moving forward.

Adapting The Legend of Zelda to film is a huge challenge, given how much fans love the video games. Even if the movie isn’t perfect – say, the acting is weak or the plot doesn’t make sense – the world of Hyrule needs to look visually stunning on the big screen.
