This is Miyamoto. I am pleased to announce that for the live-action film of The Legend of Zelda, Zelda will be played by Bo Bragason-san, and Link by Benjamin Evan Ainsworth-san. I am very much looking forward to seeing both of them on the big screen.

very promising sign that they're casting for the roles instead of casting for recognizable names. i am cautiously optimistic

Jack Black as Tingle

edit: no wait, Danny Devito as Tingle

[–] Albbi@lemmy.ca 22 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Danny Devito as the Great Fairy.

[–] SheeEttin@lemmy.zip 13 points 5 days ago

I'd watch either of those

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

While wearing his glasses.

[–] afaix@lemmy.world 15 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Jack black as gorons. All of them, the whole race.

[–] runner_g@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Taika Watititi as Ganon and also directing

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Andy Serkis as Epona.

[–] afaix@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

And also the voice of Hestu the korok

[–] runner_g@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 days ago

Okay, Taika doing hetsu's dance is something I need in my life.

[–] finalarbiter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 5 days ago

Tbh I could get behind either of those choices

[–] FardyCakes@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

He’s so cool

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 28 points 5 days ago

Yeah I've got to say it is a very positive sign that I don't know either of these actors. Also helps with suspension of disbelief.

[–] Carighan@piefed.world 5 points 5 days ago

Definitely, and it's also wild just how out of left field these choices feel in general. Which is a good thing!

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Possibly, but it also keeps the budget much lower. Are they casting the best people, or good people who also don't ask for a huge budget?

[–] Uruanna@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

People young enough whose performance will define the role rather than the role being defined by a well known face. The question will be settled when they announce Ganondorf.
