Miyamoto reveals main cast for The Legend of Zelda live-action movie
ALBAWABA - Hunter Schafer is not starring as Zelda. Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto just took to the internet by storm after revealing the new leads for the upcoming The Legend of Zelda live-action movie.
The upcoming movie, which is set to premiere in May 2027, sparked widespread debate on social media after fans voiced their concerns over a live-action adaptation of their favorite video game franchise, stating further that an animated show or movie should've been the preferable step to take when bringing Zelda into the world of cinema.
According to a post made by Geoff Keighley on X (formerly known as Twitter), English actress Bo Bragason will be playing Zelda while Benjamin Evan Ainsworth will star as Link. A fan wrote, "Actually great casting choices."
Another added, "Still think it's bizarre to make a live action over an animated."

The exact cause remains unconfirmed ALBAWABA- A massive fire has engulfed and completely destroyed the main stage of the Tomorrowland music festival in Boom, Belgium, just two days before the highly anticipated event was set to begin. The blaze broke out Wednesday evening, with dramatic footage showing flames consuming the iconic stage structure. The exact cause remains unconfirmed, but early reports suggest pyrotechnics may have triggered the fire during setup or rehearsals. — Megatron (@Megatron_ron) July 16, 2025 Tomorrowland organizers have not yet released an official statement. Still, internal sources say damage assessments are underway and emergency teams are working urgently to determine whether the festival's first weekend, scheduled to kick off this Friday, can proceed as planned. This unexpected disaster has cast grave uncertainty over the festival's opening weekend, which was set to host thousands of attendees and feature top international DJs. Tomorrowland is one of the world's largest and most visually elaborate music festivals. The main stage is typically a multi-million-dollar centerpiece designed months in advance. With such extensive damage, the event's postponement or major restructuring appears increasingly likely. © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (
