A lot of people on Twitter are mad about Hunter Schafer not being cast as Zelda saying she was born to play the character, are these people just stupid? She can play Zelda any time she wants, Echos of Wisdom available now on Nintendo Switch*

*Free Switch 2 upgrade available on Nintendo Switch 2.

I hate how all these idiots (especially on X) always think that a visual resemblance automatically requires casting. Hunter Schafer looks like Zelda. Fantastic. Does that automatically mean the acting will be outstanding? Absolutely not.

Wonder why they look so serious!?

It is such a stupid thing, who knows if she can fit the script or what the director is working on these morons think if they look the part that means she can play the part

Guess no Ganondorf and it'll have Pig Ganon instead.

Probably based on the NES LoZ.

Wonder where it fits in the timeline.

They haven't announced it yet but my sources say Ganondorf is in the movie and he's played by Jason Momoa.

Wanted to change this but the AI somehow magically decided that generating this was okay and everything else isnt couse of guidlines

Exactly.

Also, At the end of the day, you want to appeal to young girls as well, and a trans person isn't going to be wide enough, not when there is LGBTQ fatigue. Plus, Hunter looks old, don't care what anyone says.

Casting looks decent, but I'm not a die hard Zelda fan. Could we get prettier? Probably. But once in wardrobe it should be fine.

For me personally I will never watch this because I don't want live action version of Zelda series.

There are things animation just does it better, its big reason why I'm a huge fan of animations.

I think Miyamoto has opinion on the choice of actor and actress. Miyamoto is also very based. There was a nasty rumor before that a transgender will portray as Princess zelda. We have to be thankful it's not the male who will play as Zelda anymore, but a true biological woman. No woke agenda anymore on the live action movie version of one of the most beloved video game franchises. Thank God.

Nintendo spares money even on the cast of their movies

I think no-name actors are better. I'm glad that when I see Mark Hamil I see Luke Skywalker and not that famous guy whose 8th role was Luke Skywalker.

Like Mace Windu.

Nice start

 

[Fahdis]

But how well can he say "HYAAAHHH" "HET" "HAAA"

People are laughing, but this will make or break the movie for me. No jokes.

 

[CliffBronger]

I'm glad they cast these two for the movie instead of a mentally ill bloke in a dress which would have no doubt signaled the death of this film.

The actor who'll plays Ganondorf (at least if there'll be in his human version) should be huge and talented, but for sure need a heavy make-up, so I don't think is that much important if is black or white. Someone like Batista should be good.

The comments on this article are actually... unexpected. I thought a website publishing this sort of crap would have the same community as the purple forum, glad to see I'm wrong.
