The Legend of Zelda movie is making every fans go gaga, especially now that it seems like the production team is on the lookout for who's going to be Link, Zelda, and other characters of the said movie adaptation!

In a recent post, someone asked the X users to pitch their Legend of Zelda fancast, and boy, oh boy, the fancasting is wild AF! (via X/@screentime)


Fans' hilarious fancast for the Legend of Zelda

Because of @screentime's tweet, fans quickly replied with their fast cast—and it seems like everybody wants Jack Black to star as Link and Zendaya as Zelda. Now, that's a choice! (via X/@GrumpyOldMan742)

Fans also suggested that Link should be played by "Zendaya's Boyfriend", aka Tom Holland, because he's the perfect guy to play Link! (via X/@GnikJSivart)

Other fans also poked fun at the Legend of Zelda fancast, saying that knowing how Hollywood works, they will give the roles to one of the three actors working in Hollywood now, Pedro Pascal.

"Knowing Hollywood they'll go with Pedro Pascal" - a fan said (via X/@MovieManKev)

Some fans also trolled the fancast, commenting that the Zelda team should cast up-and-coming actors and not famous ones and let the story Zelda be the main focus, not the actors who will play them.

"Give it to someone new and let the story carry the name." - another fan added (via X/@SirTopiano)

Fans also clowned the fancast, nominating themselves to play Zelda because hey, confidence can get you so far, right?

"Me" - another fan replied (via X/@SlamJamShow)

X users also hilariously nominated Steve Buscemi because why TF not? (via X/@Austin_11)

Other X users also requested that Hunter Schafer should be the ONLY OPTION for Zelda, no buts and no ifs!

"Hunter Schafer is THE ONLY correct option for Princess Zelda" - an X user remarked (via X/@dread_donut)

And finally, fans roasted other fans who replied to the question, saying that if they nominate an actor just because they're famous, they might as well stick to their homework and not join the fancasting discussion on X (formerly Twitter).

"If your response is Chris Pratt, Tom Holland or Timothee Chamalet… please go back to doing your high school math homework" - another X user commented (via X/@spookysparks)

Does the Legend of Zelda already has a cast?

It seems that the Legend of Zelda team is still mum whether or not they have a cast in mind but some actors are expressing that they would like to be onboard the film! The actors who explicitly say that they want to be part of the Zelda film are Haley Joel Osment and Hunter Schafer, who dream of playing Princess Zelda in the film!


Now that the Legend of Zelda film shooked Hollywood and its stars, it's up to the Zelda team to cast the perfect Link, Zelda, and other characters because let's face it, all the characters of the Zelda game are lovable and are legendary so one wrong move of the film's casting team can make the fans go mad or even upset with their choices!
