According to the rumors regarding a Netflix live-action adaptation of The Legend Of Zelda, Tom Holland has been included in the crew to play the character of Link. Who else should be cast for the upcoming Netflix’s The Legend of Zelda? One of the best examples of a successful video game that became an equally famous live-action series is The Witcher. After this successful film, Netflix has now moved on to The Legend of Zelda franchise. It is exciting to think about what actors could be cast in this live-action series.
Here are some of the actors we would love to see cast in The Legend of Zelda.
Timothee Chalamet – Skull Kid
Timothee Chalamet is a very talented actor and has already played some roles that include eccentric or ethereal characters. Thus, he is one of the best options to play the character of wild Skull Kid in Netflix’s The Legend of Zelda. He has also played some serious roles like Paul Atreides in the upcoming film Dune.
Michelle Yeoh – Impa
The character role of Impa has to be played by an actor who can be severe and formal but should also be an action hero. Michelle Yeoh appears perfect for the role of Impa after her appearance in Star Trek: Discovery where she played the role of Philippa Georgiou. Michelle often plays a wise mentor, who is also able to act as a leader and a warrior.
Hugo Weaving – Agahnim
Hugo Weaving is a much-talented actor and has performed beautifully in various films as a hero and villain as well. If we look at his past roles, he has fantastic variety in both leading and supporting roles. This can be a reason for casting Hugo Weaving for the role of Agahnim because he would do so well as the main villain in the most famous game in the series, A Link to the Past.
Jeff Bridges – Rhoam Bosphoramus Hyrule
Jeff Bridges is one of the actors who have played a variety of characters in live-action movies. He has also given his voice to various animated characters. In this way, Jeff could easily play the role of one of Hyrule’s head of state if The Legend of Zelda is going to be an animation series in the spirit of Castlevania. Rhoam Bosphoramus Hyrule is Zelda’s father. Throughout the series, he has appeared to Link in the form of Old Man in so many games.
Idris Elba – Sahasrahla
Idris Elba is one of the famous actors in Hollywood mainly renowned for playing the role of Heimdall in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. His roles also include a variety of characters that have been played wisely. He has also played a fantastic role of Roland in the recent series, Dark Tower. Sahasrahla is a mystical leader and has only appeared in one game, A Link to the Past. In this way, Idris Elba can be considered best for the role of Sahasrahla in the upcoming Netflix’s The Legend of Zelda.
Amber Heard – Princess Ruto
Ruto is a princess, and she will never let you forget it. Amber Heard is a very talented actress, and the character of Princess Ruto fits her in every aspect. Amber Heard played a brilliant role as Mera in the film Aquaman. According to her role in Aquaman, we can clearly say that Amber Heard is the best actress to play the role of Princess Ruto.
After discussing some of the actors who could be cast in some of the prominent roles in The Legend of Zelda, we have concluded that every actor we have discussed so far can play his aligned role very well. Still, Amber Heard as Princess Ruto and Hugo Weaving as Agahnim are the most considerable actors and should be cast in The Legend of Zelda.
