When the leads for the upcoming The Legend of Zelda movie were announced , their ages all but proved Nintendo’s intention of building a Zelda franchise on the big screen. Bo Bragason , who plays Princess Zelda, will be 23 when it comes out, while Benjamin Evan Ainsworth , who plays Link, will be 19. With such young actors, the potential for sequels is obvious, but should Zelda really become a movie franchise, Nintendo should consider something else: the fact that the games don't tell a linear story . Instead of a single storyline, Zelda 's continuity follows branched-off timelines with each new game, and that's what the movies should do, too, in a lasting franchise.
