Choosing stars who are in their teens (Ainsworth) and early 20s (Bragason) makes a lot of sense. In the games, even the “older” Links and Zeldas are still typically young adults, so Bragason and Ainsworth seem like they’ll fit the mold. If this first Zelda film is even halfway decent, Bragason and Ainsworth might be representative of Zelda and Link for an entire generation of fans. The Legend of Zelda film could be Nintendo’s next breakout cultural moment when it debuts in May 2027. If it is, we’ll probably be seeing a lot more adventures starring Zelda and Link.
