Here’s the movie description on the page:

This movie brings the popular ‘Legend of Zelda’ video game to life. It tells the story of Link, a brave young hero tasked with saving the magical kingdom of Hyrule from evil. Hyrule is threatened by Ganon, a powerful and cruel warlord who wants to claim the Triforce – a legendary artifact that promises ultimate power. Link must undertake a dangerous adventure, fighting monsters, navigating challenging dungeons, and solving complex puzzles to find sacred objects that will help him defeat Ganon and save the kingdom.
