Miyamoto reveals main cast for The Legend of Zelda live-action movie
Hunter Schafer is not starring as Zelda. Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto just took to the internet by storm after revealing the new leads for the upcoming The Legend of Zelda live-action movie.
The upcoming movie, which is set to premiere in May 2027, sparked widespread debate on social media after fans voiced their concerns over a live-action adaptation of their favorite video game franchise, stating further that an animated show or movie should’ve been the preferable step to take when bringing Zelda into the world of cinema.
According to a post made by Geoff Keighley on X (formerly known as Twitter), English actress Bo Bragason will be playing Zelda while Benjamin Evan Ainsworth will star as Link. A fan wrote, “Actually great casting choices.”
Another added, “Still think it’s bizarre to make a live action over an animated.”
