Summary

  • There have been many versions of Link throughout the Zelda franchise, but none are more popular among fans than his adult variations in Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword, and Breath of the Wild.
  • Even though Adult Link is the more well-known version of the character, Young Link actually has a much deeper history in the Zelda franchise, giving the filmmakers more to draw from and more room to try new things.
  • Having Young Link in the film would make it easier to cast a lesser-known actor as Link which could help avoid the common pitfalls associated with having recognizable big-name actors take on a popular character.
