This is Miyamoto. I am pleased to announce that for the live-action film of The Legend of Zelda, Zelda will be played by Bo Bragason-san, and Link by Benjamin Evan Ainsworth-san. I am very much looking forward to seeing both of them on the big screen.

[–] morphballganon@mtgzone.com 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Make him a young goron, alongside The Rock as an elder goron

[–] Mist101@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

And Jack Black will be the voice and mo-cap for Fi.

[–] MangioneDontMiss@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 days ago

I don’t know about good or bad……. It’s going to be weird. And who?

[–] HeartyOfGlass@piefed.social 131 points 1 week ago (5 children)

If Link says anything other than "Hup!" & "Hyyah!" I'm out.

[–] Rakonat@lemmy.world 110 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Well excuuuuuuuuse me, princess!

[–] HeartyOfGlass@piefed.social 4 points 6 days ago

Just once. Right at the end of the movie.

“I’m so hungry, I could eat an Octorok!”

Considering how much rizz link usually has, he’s 100% a mute bard

I hope 3/4 of the budget goes into smashing pots.

[–] jacksilver@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

I mean, that is one way to make rupees.

[–] troed@fedia.io 17 points 1 week ago

Don't forget all the bush trimming.

... no, no THAT!!!

very promising sign that they're casting for the roles instead of casting for recognizable names. i am cautiously optimistic

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Possibly, but it also keeps the budget much lower. Are they casting the best people, or good people who also don't ask for a huge budget?

[–] Uruanna@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

People young enough whose performance will define the role rather than the role being defined by a well known face. The question will be settled when they announce Ganondorf.

Yeah I've got to say it is a very positive sign that I don't know either of these actors. Also helps with suspension of disbelief.

Somehow didn't expect them to pick such a young actor for Link, even though it does correspond to Link's age in many of the games.

I'm really curious to see more of this movie. I think Zelda is a really difficult series to adapt well.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 46 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I predict the movie itself will be kind of meh, but the soundtrack will be awesome

Prediction: this will suck.

[–] crank0271@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

I'm not confident about it, but I sure hope you're wrong!

Not Hunter Schafer. I'm out.

[–] morphballganon@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Looks like they're going younger with the casting. The characters are kids in most of the games after all.

I really wish they had picked Hunter for Zelda 😔

Today's image of the pair looks to feature the actors in some sort of costume for their roles
