This piece examines the excitement and speculation swirling around the upcoming Zelda film. Global interest surged after early set videos emerged, triggering lively discussions among fans and the media.
The suggestion that Mark Hamill will assume the role of Hyrule’s ruler is entirely unfounded. Recently leaked footage from the film’s initial days on set confirmed costume choices and casting details that remain unofficial. Nintendo, alongside Shigeru Miyamoto, has since released verified images while asking viewers to remain patient as production continues in New Zealand.
At the same time, some individuals seeking attention have spread erroneous claims about the movie online. Although the discovered videos verify certain aspects of the production, false narratives have circulated, including the mistaken belief that Hamill has been cast, which is simply not the case.
Before such misinformation creates further misunderstanding, it is important to set the record straight. Even the involvement of actress Dichen Lachman, who appears in the leaked footage, has not been definitively confirmed. At present, it's uncertain whether she… will portray a classic character or an original creation crafted specifically for the film.
Currently, only two roles come with confirmed names:
- Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Link
- Bo Bragason as Zelda
