Following the announcement and the subsequent rousing success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, fans of Nintendo properties became hopeful that other Nintendo hits that might spark video game adaptations. Chief among those was The Legend of Zelda. In short order, Nintendo then made those dreams come true by confirming plans for a live-action Zelda movie. Now that movie has taken its most important step forward.
The two lead roles of Zelda and Link have been officially cast for the film version, and while the names aren’t likely to rouse a great deal of excitement, and both are relative unknowns, what’s vital to understand here isn’t who has been cast, but that casting has happened, because it means The Legend of Zelda movie is actually real.
