In the upcoming live-action adaptation of 'The Legend of Zelda,' Bo Bragason has been cast as Zelda and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Link. This announcement was made by Shigeru Miyamoto via Nintendo's official X account. Both actors are relatively unknown, with sparse credits in their filmographies. Ainsworth is known for his role in 'The Haunting of Bly Manor' and providing the voice for Pinocchio in Disney's adaptation. Bragason starred in 'Renegade Nell' and participated in motion capture work for 'Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV.' Casting these actors allows the fantasy world of Hyrule to be explored in a fresh way, avoiding the trend of using well-known stars.
