Fans got their first official peek via a social media post on Wednesday, when Nintendo legend Shigeru Miyamoto personally announced the casting news along with some stunning first-look photos that feel straight out of Hyrule itself. While Miyamoto kept things respectful and brief, the excitement in the fandom is absolutely off the charts. Bo Bragason has been cast as Zelda in the live-action 'LEGEND OF ZELDA' movie. Who are Bo Bragason and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth? Bo Bragason, who's known for her performances in Three Girls, The Jetty, and Disney+'s Renegade Nell, is stepping into the royal boots of Zelda. Most recently, she starred in the vampire comedy The Radleys, proving she can handle quirky fantasy with ease. As for Link, say hello to Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, the voice of Pinocchio in Robert Zemeckis' live-action remake and a familiar face from Netflix's The Haunting of Bly Manor. He's also had stints in The Sandman and the Canadian sitcom Son of a Critch. With that résumé, he's more than ready to take on the Hero of Time mantle. Release date, director, and what's next Originally set to drop in March 2027, the film has now been pushed to May 7, 2027. Miyamoto previously noted the delay was due to 'production reasons,' which could honestly mean anything in the world of Hollywood magic and rupee-counting budgets. The movie is being helmed by Wes Ball, the director behind The Maze Runner trilogy and Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. With production powerhouse Avi Arad also on board, expectations are through the ceiling, and possibly into the Sacred Realm. Can it beat Super Mario Bros. at the box office? After the Super Mario Bros. movie crushed it for Universal and Illumination, all eyes are now on Zelda to do the same for Sony. Will this fantasy epic be the next video game adaptation to rule them all? Well, if the casting buzz is anything to go by… it just might.
