Link has never spoken in the games, a defining trait that may change in the upcoming live-action movie.
We finally got a sneak peak, albeit an unofficial one, of the upcoming Legend of Zelda movie. Over the weekend, footage of the film's production in New Zealand leaked on social media. It's a short clip, and nothing can be heard over the sound of the wind, but they hint that the princess' Sheikah bodyguard Impa will have a role to play in the live-action adaptation.
"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."
Asked in 2024 whether she would be interested in playing the role, Schafer told Entertainment Tonight that the idea would be "so cool," adding that she was a huge fan of the series growing up. "I've seen another wave of the fan cast and everything, which is just really sweet," she said at the time. "I'm honoured that they even think of me for that."
