Nintendo has taken a break from dispatching Sardaukar detachments against people looking askance at its copyright to cast a couple of young actors in the upcoming Legend of Zelda movie. Ladies and gentlemen, your Zelda will be played by Bo Bragason, and your Link will be portrayed by Benjamin Evan Ainsworth. I don't know who either of them are, but spiritually I'm an 87 year old man, so I wouldn't take that as indicative of anything.
The castings were announced in a tweet purportedly written by Shigeru Miyamoto, which I have to imagine was not actually written by Shigeru Miyamoto. "I am very much looking forward to seeing both of them on the big screen," said maybe-Miyamoto from his Nintendo throne. "The film is scheduled to be released in theaters on May 7, 2027. Thank you for your patience."
