Alright, so here’s the thing: there’s this whole buzz around this upcoming Legend of Zelda movie. It’s not dropping anytime soon — like, 2027 or something — but people are already losing their minds over it. And here’s the fun part, Google’s jumping in on the hype train early. If you search for the actors playing Link or Zelda, you get these cute little nods to the games. I mean, come on, Google’s having a bit too much fun with this.
So, after Mario crushed it at the box office in 2023, everyone started playing the guessing game — like, what’s next for Nintendo? Must’ve been a wild ride at their HQ because boom, Zelda’s getting its own live-action flick. Yeah, live-action, not animated. Some folks are all “why not animated?” but hey, it’s happening. The cast — oh man, the fans are all over it like bees to honey. And then Google goes and feeds the frenzy with their cheeky Easter eggs.
Eurogamer spotted it first — like, detective level stuff. Look up Benjamin Ainsworth, our soon-to-be Link dude, and BAM! The Google search blares “KYAAAA! HYAAAAA!” like we’re in the game. And for Princess Zelda, portrayed by Bo Bragason, it’s serving up “Well excuse me, Princess.” If you know, you know — that’s an old animated series reference. Makes you chuckle, right? Link’s grunts are meme-worthy gold!
Anyway, the film was initially pegged for a March 26, 2027 release, but guess what? It’s been nudged to May 7, 2027. A mere blip of a delay. Sony and Nintendo say it’s just production stuff. Surely they’re perfecting every cackle and pixel. Fans are on tenterhooks, though, hoping this Zelda flick nails it big time, like other video game adaptations. Fingers crossed for a hit, but who can really tell?
It’s a bit of a debate — live-action versus animated — but Zelda fans are riding high on optimism. Seriously, we’ll just have to wait and see how it all pans out in theaters. Until then, keep an eye on those updates because more juicy details are bound to spill.
