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. (1/2) pic.twitter.com/KA5XW3lwul

They better have acting chops because they do not look their parts .... story and acting better be fantastic but I have very large doubts.

Edit - I just looked them both up. I have not seen anything they have been in. Bo may have the look after all if they get her hair right ....

Never seen these actors, but I can see them as Link and Zelda. A good start imo.

This seems like big enough news to warrant its own thread.

I like that they went with relative unknowns.

They'll probably get a more well-known, established actor for the adult characters like Impa, the King of Hyrule, and Ganondorf.

Hm...looked up more pictures of them...I can easily imagine them as Link and Zelda. Hopefully Link doesn't talk, like in games.

The actors have 5 years between them. 21 vs. 16 for Zelda and Link respectively. With that age difference, probably no romance in the movie.

I would have loved Link trying to steel a kiss with an 'Excuuuuuse me Princess'

Well, that's about the age difference between Link and Zelda in Twilight Princess, which, IMO, is how it should be.

The real life age of the actors probably isn't going to perfectly match the age of the characters so I wouldn't count out a romance just yet.
