For Nintendo’s Upcoming Zelda Live-Action Movie, This Star Is a Top Pick Among Fans for Link’s Role

After the success of the Mario movie, Nintendo is also reportedly budgeting for another live-action film surprising its fans. Not only that but this movie will be based on the lore of The Legend of Zelda franchise after much anticipation. While Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto will take an important role in bringing the film to the audience, fans are curious to know who will play the part of Link!

Not just Miyamoto, but this live-action film will be co-produced by Marvel’s former founder as well. Since this news was publicly announced, fans have a high hope of seeing another fabulous video game narrative as a big-screen project. However, what still strikes them is Link’s character in the movie! Now looking at the crucial role Link plays in saving the princess, the curiosity and excitement are truly justified.

Who will play the character of Link in the live-action Zelda movie?

Recently Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto posted on his official X (formerly Twitter) that he alongside Arad Productions’ chairman Avi Arad have been working on a live-action film for years. He mentioned that, “We have now officially started the development of the film with Nintendo itself heavily involved in the production. It will take time until its completion, but I hope you look forward to seeing it.” 

What adds to the element of intrigue even more is that the movie will be directed by Wes Ball, the same artist who directed Maze Runner. However, the story line and the characters have still not be unveiled by the unit yet. Most probably the salient characters like Link, Zelda, Ganon, and others will have their elemental touch attached to them.

Interestingly, though, since the news came forth, the fans have been eager to know who will play the Link’s character in the movie. This excitement brought almost a storm in the media since many sources started the discussion on the platform.

A trusted insider revealed the news to its community with a hint about Tom Holland. Now, fans can’t deny that this star already did a great job in Jon Watt’s Spider-Man films. Previously in September, many rumors were that Zelda’s live-action movie would likely come on Netflix with Holland in one of the lead roles.

Though nothing is officially announced, fans can’t help but have their attention turn toward this brilliant Hollywood actor.

When Miyamoto’s tweet came to the public, it blew fans’ minds with a wild dream of finally watching Zelda instead of playing it. However, fans are still stuck in their anticipation of Link’s role. On the social media platforms, Zelda fans are in all praise of Tom Holland. Fans made custom posters of the film with Tom Holland dressed as Link. The true use of the power of AI, no?

It seemed at a point that fans had made up their mind about Tom Holland as the Link.

Zelda fans almost had a designated set up about who is playing which character- “Tom Holland as link, anya taylor Joy as zelda and William dofoe as Ganondorf.” Tom Holland fans truly took over the platform in support of this actor playing the role of Link.

In a nutshell, Zelda fans seemed to make up their mind on Tom Holland as Link.

While there is so much anticipation among people, Miyamoto and the team are currently brewing more suspense to excite the fans.

But, Tom Holland as a Link might be just the cherry on top! What do you think?
