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.
I think their only hope is to go with a small, small story that only hints at the larger world. If they try to go epic then the movie universe begins and ends with this one entry.
I don’t think they can resist the trap of going for the obvious epic world-stakes kind of story though.
