Benjamin Evan Ainsworth appeared on HBO's House of the Dragon this week as Daeron Targaryen. The 17-year-old actor has been cast as Link in the upcoming live-action Legend of Zelda movie, Nintendo confirmed. He will star opposite Bo Bragason as Princess Zelda. The film is scheduled for release on October 30, 2027.
Wes Ball, director of the Maze Runner series, is directing the adaptation. Ball has said he is a Zelda superfan. Nintendo greenlit his take after reviewing his pitch. The project is a risk for the company. Its previous live-action adaptations have drawn mixed reviews, while animated Mario and Pokémon films performed well at the box office.
The casting of relatively unknown actors suggests Nintendo is prioritizing fit over star power. That strategy worked for the Mario movie, which used Chris Pratt and Jack Black. No trailer or footage has been released for the Zelda film.
