Miyamoto announced today that in his upcoming The Legend of Zelda movie project, Zelda will be played by Bo Bragason and Link by Benjamin Evan Ainsworth. They are both British, 20/21 and 16 years old respectively, and you probably haven't heard of either one before.
And that's exactly what I was hoping for. To quote myself: "For Link and Zelda they really need some young, fresh faces. If you know the actors' names already, then they probably shouldn't be hired."
Well, on first glance Bo looks more like a Malon than a Zelda, where she will either get her hair dyed or wear a wig. I'm not exactly seeing her as the eponymous princess yet, but let's wait for what they can make out of her. And they will probably put some GCI sideburns onto Benjamin, but he seems to be a good fit overall.
In any case, both of these young actors will become quite famous from now on. Congratulations for scoring these important roles!

Glad they didn't go full Hollywood A list like with the Mario movie for Link and Zelda. Was worried we'd get Tom Holland Link or Zendaya/Sydney Sweeney Zelda. Curious if they will for Ganon. Could see Giancarlo Esposito or Denzel if they went that route.
