Zelda is already based on the film Legend (1984)
A film Directed by Sir Ridley Scott (Alien, Gladiator, The Martian, Thelma and Louise).. One of the greatest directors OAT
Starting
Tom Cruise as proto Link
Tim Curry as proto Gannondorf or the Devil


They should all come back and be de aged by AI for this film

Also, even if they are homophobic, they are still both great actors.
William Shatner, for exemple, he is still one of the greatest actor known to this day, he was openly misogynist. Yet, I don't see many people condemn him

in my version it starts like:-

it's dangerous to go alone. You have to take Hunter Schafer or Anya Taylor-Joy.

Actually, with Hunter Schafer (who totally had the chara-design in my opinion), we would have both Zelda and Sheik in one, without the need to use extra make-up

But for real, Ron Perlman as Ganondorf is something I would totally see. I remember, I was reading an article about Zelda movie, and shortly after, I saw a picture of Ron Pearlman as the beast on my facebook feed. At this moment, it was settled for me. He would be the perfect actor for Ganondorf

good move cast nobodies no one has ever heard of. never heard of any of those movies they are in (except Pinocchio). should of made it cgi like mario this is going to suck!

 

[captainpringles]

Eddie Murphy as Epona would totally be a banger
I would also cast
Ron Perlman as Ganondorf
Jack Gleeson as Mido
Morgan Freeman as Deku Tree
I would also cast John Goodman as an Octorok

And Jack Black as Hestu.

 

[Mama Dizzys]

Cool! No celebrities!

this is exactly how i'm feeling

movies would be better if casting was always just pulling random people off the street instead of having the same 5 people everywhere with a different name tag each time

 

[Tipi]

Huh, didn't even know they're making a Zelda film.

She's very pretty.

 

[Dark_Ansem]

Bro thinks they cast Orlando Bloom as Legolas because of his perfect long blonde hair.

Jealous much?

 

[BraveDragonWolf]

Jack Black as Ganondorf

 

[Exnor]

Shes cute. That's all i have to say about this.

 

[Dark_Ansem]

Jack Black as Ganondorf

Will he sing with the OOT pipe organ he has in his castle?

 

[DeadSkullzJr]

Ok, no. Again. Some games just aren't movie material, STOP MAKING EVERY GAME A MOVIE.

 

[ftjiso]

im all for new actors and actresses in movies and not the same actors we keep seeing in many other movies for example tom holland, etc. just hope their acting is good. good luck to both of them

 

[Robert Newbie]

Dang, I came in too late for the Chris Pratt jokes. Aw well.

I'm not expecting high cinema from this, but I'm hoping the endproduct is decent.

 

[Dark_Ansem]

Which game is the inspiration omg

 

[Thardus]

yay, Zelda will not be played by a boy pretending to be a girl

While I'm not known for hiding my anti-woke opinion, I must admit that Hunter did have the body to fit Zelda chara-design.
I never saw his movies, so I can't say if he would have been a good actor, but still, he would totally fit the chara-design, that is something you can't deny.
