Live Action Zelda Movie Stars Revealed

ByGabriel Stanford-Reisinger

The live action Legend of Zelda flick has finally shared who take up the leading roles of Zelda and Link.

On Twitter, Miyamoto shared that the film will star King and Conqueror‘s Bo Bragason as Zelda and live action Pinocchio‘s Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as the usually silent protagonist.

Originally scheduled for March 27, 2026, the Sony-backed flick was pulled to May 7, 2027. Here’s hoping with that extra time we’ll get a film worth waiting for, as many are still skeptical about what the film will bring to the table.

In the meantime, though, we still have a potential Donkey Kong movie in the pipeline, so the multimedia universe of Nintendo is certainly swinging.

What do you think? Are you excited for The Legend of Zelda to hit the big screen? Let us know below!
