Sure thing, here we go:

You know, there’s this thing brewing—a Legend of Zelda movie, right? But we’re all gonna have to twiddle our thumbs for like two years before it finally hits theaters. Google though, those cheeky devils, are already tossing out little teasers and Easter eggs. So, you punch in a search for the actors playing Link and Zelda, and boom, hints from the game’s past pop up in the results. Crazy, right?
Okay, so after that Super Mario Bros. flick in 2023 just blew up, folks were betting on what Nintendo would turn into a movie next. Surprise, surprise—it’s Zelda’s turn. But here’s the kicker: it’s live-action, not animated. A bunch of people were like, “Huh?” at first, but then the casting for Link and Zelda dropped, and excitement levels shot through the roof. Google’s throwing its hat in the ring, stirring up the buzz for this Nintendo adventure.
So, there’s this delightful little tidbit—get this—from Eurogamer. Search for the actors, and what do you see? Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, the guy playing Link, has these “KYAAAA! HYAAAAA!” battle cries on his search results. Sounds goofy but perfect. Then you’ve got Bo Bragason, our Zelda, with “Well excuse me, Princess.” If you’re in the loop, you know that’s from the old cartoon shenanigans from the Super Mario Bros. Super Show. Yeah, both of these are basically meme gold now—so kudos, Google, you made our day.
Originally slated for March 26, 2027, the Zelda movie got nudged a bit. Now it’s May 7, 2027, all official-like. Thanks to Sony Pictures and Nintendo for that heads-up; they’re blaming “production reasons,” whatever that means. So, yeah, we’ve gotta play the waiting game a smidge longer, but with Easter eggs like these, the hype train isn’t slowing down at all.
Despite the endless animated-versus-live-action debate (yawn), Zelda’s charm is giving lots of folks hope about the movie. Will it smash box office records like other video game hits? Only time will tell. Keep your eyes peeled for more updates, because who knows what’s next—could be awesome, could be… well, let’s stay positive.
