Alright, let me take you on a little journey through the buzzing realm of Zelda madness—grab your ocarina. So, with this Legend of Zelda movie that isn’t even hitting theaters for another, what, two years? Google’s already teasing us with little nods to the franchise’s rich history. Imagine typing in the names of the actors playing Link and Zelda and boom, there are these cheeky little Easter eggs right in the search results. Google, you sneaky genius.
After the wild success of that Super Mario Bros. animation from 2023, everyone and their grandma started guessing which Nintendo world would get the Hollywood treatment next. And yep, Zelda’s in line. But wait—it’s a live-action flick, not animated. A bit of a head-scratcher, right? People are both nervous and curious. But oh boy, the casting announcements for Link and Zelda lit that excitement bonfire again.
So, a little stroll on Google? When you look up Benjamin Evan Ainsworth—he’s our new Link—you’ll see this hilarious “KYAAAA! HYAAAAA!” sound reference from the games. Don’t ask me to make those sounds though. And Bo Bragason, our Princess Zelda, has this “Well excuse me, Princess!” line sitting there. It’s straight out of the old Super Mario Bros. Super Show. Nostalgia bomb, right? Yeah, these Google Easter eggs are definitely stirring the pot.
Oh, and about the movie itself—it was supposed to hit theaters March 26, 2027, but nope! They pushed it to May 7, 2027. Barely a delay, but you know how things go. Sony Pictures and Nintendo wanted to tweak a few things—they said “production reasons,” whatever that means. Anyway, these little tidbits from Google are doing a great job keeping us hyped while we wait.
The live-action vs. animation debate is still alive and kicking, but with the legendary status of The Legend of Zelda (see what I did there?), hopes are running high. Are we going to see numbers like other blockbuster video game movies? That’s the million-dollar question. Either way, if you’re into Zelda, you might want to keep your eyes peeled for more updates.
And there you have it—a peek into the chaos brewing ahead of this film’s release. Now, where did I leave my Master Sword…
