Nintendo has cast Bo Bragason and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Zelda and Link in its upcoming live-action “Legend of Zelda” film.

Wes Ball, known for “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes,” is directing the movie, which is slated for release on May 7, 2027.

Audience reactions to live-action remakes are mixed, with recent examples like Disney’s “Lilo & Stitch” breaking box office records while “Snow White” faced controversy and underperformed.
