What’s the Latest on the Legend of Zelda Movie?

New information has emerged for Nintendo’s long-awaited Legend of Zelda live-action film. The project’s head, Shigeru Miyamoto, announced the film in November 2023, and fans have been wondering about the cast ever since. New rumors indicate that the age range of the actors sought for the characters Link and Zelda has been determined.

Legend of Zelda Casting Details Are Being Clarified

The film is looking for actors between the ages of 16 and 23 for the lead roles. This information means that Hunter Schafer, who was previously mentioned for Princess Zelda, may not be suitable for the role due to his age. According to a reliable source named DanielRPK, casting has begun for characters such as Ganondorf, Impa, and the King of Hyrule, as well as Link and Zelda.

Casting is planned to be completed by the end of August. Although there is no official casting announcement at the moment, this development has created excitement among fans. The film is expected to start filming in November and be completed in the spring.

According to this age range, it is thought that the story of the film could be about a period similar to the Breath of the Wild game. The fact that the Zelda character is a young adult like in the game strengthens this theory. Some sources, however, state that the adaptation of Ocarina of Time, which deals with the time travel theme of the series, will be more complex.

Nintendo aims to bring the deep-rooted story of the series to the cinema with this film and attract a new generation of viewers to the Zelda universe. Fans are eagerly awaiting official statements from Nintendo regarding the cast and the first trailer.
