Nintendo announced its live action actors that will play Link and Zelda in its upcoming live-action film The Legend of Zelda.This Substack is reader-supported.
The most encouraging news in this article to me is that the director loves The Legend of Zelda and is not the typical Hollywood hack who has never engaged with the source material and wants to use the IP as a hollowed out vessell for his own rejected script ideas. (Halo?)
It's more of a relief that they cast a female who "looks like" Zelda to play the princess and a male who "looks like" Link to play the hero.
Zelda not being a troon is a relief, but this movie will still be garbage.

More video game movies? Probably better than the DC and Marvel comic book movies. That is not saying much though.
