Trans Mob Blasts Nintendo for Casting a Woman to Star in ‘Legends of Zelda’ Movie
Breitbart ^ | July 16, 2025 | Warner Todd Huston

The transgender mob pounced on gaming giant Nintendo for casting a woman instead of a trans actor as the lead in its upcoming film based on its long-time popular game, The Legend of Zelda.

Activists and some few fans have long held that the Zelda character of the game is transgender because in one game Zelda disguised herself as a boy. But Nintendo has always maintained that Zelda is a female character, not trans. But that isn’t stopping the haters from targeting Nintendo’s “transphobia” over its movie casting announcement.

Along with Sony Pictures, the company announced on Wednesday that it has cast Bo Bragason in the role of Zelda and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Link, Deadline reported.

“This is Miyamoto. I am pleased to announce that for the live-action film of The Legend of Zelda, Zelda will be played by Bo Bragason-san, and Link by Benjamin Evan Ainsworth-san,” Nintendo chief Shigeru Miyamoto wrote in a post on X. “I am very much looking forward to seeing both of them on the big screen.”

Screwball fan theory becomes “fact”.

When is the world going to round up the trans-trolls and put them in cages where they belong?

Confusion is one of satans greatest weapons.....and transgenderism is a perfect example.

I always thought the protagonist was an elf, and just another guy.

Didn’t know it was “Zelda” and thus, I guess, a female. Thought Zelda referred to something else, maybe the location, or the prize, or whatever.

They don’t need to be in cages. Just send them to the psychiatrists and the mental hospitals.

Their official name in the game series is “Hylians”, but you’re right, they’re basically Elves.

The Legend of Zelda died with F. Scott Fitzgerald.

The protagonist is Link, who is a male of the elf-like Hylian race.

Zelda is a different character, and is female.

Its time to stop responding to “twitter mobs” on anything. They aren’t real.

By this logic Julie Andrews was trans. Ridiculous.
