Cast[]

  • Nicholas Hoult as Link: Nicholas Hoult, a fan of the games freaked out as soon as he saw the costume. "I just couldn't believe my eyes. It was like my childhood came to life. It was brilliant." Hoult would go on further to say "and even though I only have six lines, I don't think I've ever been happier to get a part before in my life." He would bring his Nintendo Wii U on set so he, Charlie Rowe and the rest of the cast could play Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Warriors together on the set.
  • Mia Wasikowska as Princess Zelda: Mia Wasikowska has said about Zelda "She's more than a high-class elegeant damsel in distress. She's also wise, cunning, and brave. Link needs Zelda just as much as she needs him, she points him to the right direction, she helps whenever needed, and she's honestly she's really the one person who ultimately saves the day".
  • Christopher Eccleston as Ganondorf: "The Great Dark King of Gerudo Valley", Ganondorf is the first male Gerudo to be born in at least 1,000 years. He seeks the triforce of power to reign over Hyrule and all of Atlas. Christopher Eccleston has said of Ganondorf "It's an interesting role to me because to 'us' the viewers, he's the epitome for evil but in Ganondorf's mind he isn't evil at all. He's doing this for his people. His people are suffering and he blames the people of Hyrule for this transgression. It's not just about ruling over the world. It's also "

Production[]

Warner Bros. Pictures acquired movie rights for the Zelda franchise in 2007 after the successful release of Twilight Princess. For many years, Nintendo had been interested in turning Zelda in a movie series. In June 2010, Warner took pitches from video game writers, comic book writers, screenwriters and directors in how to make a Zelda movie. Mac Walters, writer of the Mass Effect franchise, proposed an eight-hour epic that spanned from Link's childhood to his eventual crowning as King of Hyrule. Similarly, Grant Morrison proposed a story similar to that of Ocarina of Time.
