It has been discovered that The Legend of Zelda Movie is being shot at a key location used by the excellent The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Production for the live-action movie has been spotted in Otago, including the small town of Glenorchy, which was used heavily in The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. We previously knew that the film was being shot in New Zealand, but we didn’t have a firm location. As others have pointed out, it obviously suggests that Nintendo is billing the movie as an epic fantasy adventure, rather than another video game movie. The release date for The Legend of Zelda Movie is currently penciled in for May 2027.
