Nintendo has revealed the two young actors who will play Link and Zelda in its live-action movie based on "The Legend of Zelda."

Miyamoto, the co-producer of Super Mario, created the Zelda universe in 1986. Since then, the hugely popular series has sold more than 140 million games worldwide. Its latest installment, 2024's The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, saw the titular character shed her role as a damsel in distress to be the heroine for the first time.

Here's a look at the cast of The Legend of Zelda side-by-side with their counterparts from the original video games. Ainsworth will play Link, the young hero who battles the forces of evil from the dark sorcerer Ganon to rescue Princess Zelda and protect the magical kingdom of Hyrule.
