Nintendo's Surprise Casting Choices for The Legend of Zelda Live-Action Film After the unexpected casting of Chris Pratt as Mario in the upcoming Super Mario Bros. Movie, Nintendo has once again surprised fans with their choices for the live-action adaptation of The Legend of Zelda. Instead of opting for A-list celebrities, Nintendo has cast Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Link and Bo Bragason as Princess Zelda.

The news of their casting, along with the release date set for May 7, 2027, has sparked curiosity and anticipation among fans.

Fans are eager to see how they will bring these iconic characters to life on the big screen. As we await more updates on the film, including its storyline and approach to the beloved Zelda franchise, the casting choices have sparked optimism and intrigue among fans.
