Both are relatively unknown names in the world of acting, with Evan Ainsworth making a single appearance in an episode of Netflix's Sandman, and Bragason having roles primarily in a range of smaller TV shows. Surprisingly, though, despite being relatively new to the scene, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Legend of Zelda won't be Bragson's first appearance in a video game-centric piece of media, previously appearing in an official 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Final Fantasy project.

Bo Bragason Previously Appeared In Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV

Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV is an anime adaptation of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Final Fantasy XV. It was released in 2016, just ahead of the launch of the game, and𝔉 runs parallel to the events of the beginning of Square Enix's title. It was here that Bo Bragason made her first appearance in the media.

As initially pointed out by on Twitter, Bo Bragason performed the motion capture and served as the 3D scan model for Young Lunafreya Nox Fleuret in the movie. While the character was voiced by somebody else, Liliana Chomsky, Bragason's likeness would have been seen, albeit briefly, by anyone who wa﷽tched the movie. Given that it grossed an estimated $6.5 million in theaters from a limited release, bef🐻ore receiving a DVD, Blu-ray, and digital release, there were more than a few people who watched it.

Interestingly, adult Luna was played by Lena Headey of Game of Throneꦰs fame.

The announcement of Bragason as Zelda and Evan Ainsworth as Link was quite a shock, but came in a fashion typical of recent Nintendo. Much like wh🗹en the company anno♒unced the release date of Pokemon Legends: Z-A, the cast for The Legend of Zelda𝔉's live-action movie was announced from the company's Twitter account.

There was some expectation that actress and model H🍃unter Schafer would play Zelda herself, but those rumors turned out to be false, with Nintendo preferring Bragason for the role. If you ask me, it's pretty solid casting, and definitely points 🉐to an Ocarina of Time era adaptation.
