Nintendo’s Legend of Zelda Live Action Movie: Bo Bragason and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth Cast as Zelda

Join me as I dive into the exciting news about Nintendo’s upcoming Legend of Zelda live-action movie, set for release on May 7, 2027. Nintendo has announced that Bo Bragason will play Princess Zelda and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth will star as Link. I share my thoughts on why this casting feels spot-on, based on their looks and Nintendo’s hands-on approach to protecting their IPs, as seen in the success of the Super Mario Bros. movie. From Shigeru Miyamoto’s involvement to the use of practical effects, I discuss why I trust Nintendo to deliver a faithful adaptation that respects the beloved Zelda universe.
