Fans believe previously leaked footage from the New Zealand set of the live-action Legend of Zelda film may show Ganondorf, after Uli Latukefu was confirmed in the role. If correct, it would offer an early look at the franchise’s main antagonist and suggest he appears alongside Zelda and Impa before his intentions are revealed.

The footage appears to show Latukefu walking through a forest with Bo Bragason’s Zelda and Dichen Lachman’s Impa, although this has not been officially confirmed. His apparent short red hair differs from Ganondorf’s usual long-haired game design, indicating a more grounded interpretation; the film is due for release on 30 April 2027, with its precise source game still unknown.
