Among the many adaptations of video games to cinema, no concrete project surrounding The Legend of Zelda is currently not considered. It is however one of the most cult video game franchises and it would not be surprising to discover it one day in the cinema. If so, one actress in particular would be interested in the role of the famous princess. And that’s good, his resemblance to her is quite striking!
The Legend of Zelda, a cult video game franchise
Adaptations of video games into films or series have never been so fashionable, although the result is rarely very convincing. In recent projects, we can mention the film Uncharted with Tom Holland or the TV series Halo, currently being broadcast. Many adaptations are already planned (It Takes Two, The Last of Us, Super Mario Bros…), but no trace of the cult franchise that is The Legend of Zelda.
The first opus of this famous series of video games dates back to 1986. Proof of its success over time, the next episode, Breath of the Wild 2, is one of the most anticipated games for next year. What if, hypothetically, an adaptation of a game from the franchise were to hit theaters in the next few years, actress Hunter Schafer, best known for her role as Jules Vaughn in Euphoria, could well be in the cast.
An idea from the fans
At the end of March, 23-year-old actress Hunter Schafer made an appearance at the Vanity Fair Oscars party. An appearance all the more noticed that the young woman was particularly well dressed, in an outfit that was reminiscent of one of those worn by Princess Zelda in video games. Whether in terms of hairstyle, dress or jewelry, the resemblance is obvious, even more thanks to the comparison video (visible below) posted on Twitter by a fan.

Recently, Hunter Schafer was asked if she would be interested in playing the princess in a potential live-action adaptation of The Legend of Zelda, as many gamers have suggested on social media. While the actress says she hasn’t heard of it, she isn’t opposed to the idea. Better, she would have been a big fan of the franchise in her youth!

No, I haven’t heard of it! […] I mean… yes it would be cool to play an Elf. And I played this video game a lot when I was a kid, it’s such a good game! Hunter Schafer
Remember, however, that such a project remains purely hypothetical for the moment. and that the actress who appeared in Euphoria clearly seems to respond a little off guard. But hope gives life.
