Nintendo's Casting Choices for Zelda Movie Raise Eyebrows
Nintendo has unveiled Bo Bragason as Zelda and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Link for the upcoming film. While casting relatively unknown young actors may seem risky, it could also signal confidence in the franchise's draw. "I am very much looking forward to seeing both of them on the big screen," said a tweet, presumably from Miyamoto. Both actors have limited experience, raising questions about their ability to carry such iconic roles. - Bragason has appeared in a few films and TV shows, notably in Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy 15. - Ainsworth's background includes voicing Pinocchio, but his Emmerdale connection may resonate more with UK fans. The decision to go with newcomers instead of established stars like in the Mario Movie is intriguing. Ultimately, while the film's quality remains uncertain, its commercial potential is undeniable, with predictions of massive box office returns. If history is any guide, Zelda is poised to be a major player in the cinematic landscape.
