There are a few departures from the game design — for example, Bragason’s blouse omits the gold embroidery at the collar — but her twin-plait hairstyle and the costume’s overall aesthetic strongly point to Breath of the Wild as the central influence.
In Breath of the Wild, Link awakens after a century-long slumber to find Hyrule ravaged by an apocalyptic force called Calamity Ganon, whose devastation is only held at bay through Zelda’s power. Even if the film borrows major themes and visuals from that game, it’s unlikely to be a shot-for-shot adaptation — in the game much of Zelda’s role is revealed through flashbacks.
The Legend of Zelda movie is scheduled to open on May 7, 2027.
