Say Goodbye To The Dream Of Hunter Schafer In The Legend Of Zelda
Euphoria and Cuckoo star Hunter Schafer would have made a great Princess Zelda, but Nintendo went in a different direction.

For almost as long as Hunter Schafer has been famous, people have been fancasting her as Princess Zelda. All the way back in 2022, the Euphoria actress was asked about the prospect of playing the princess in a then-hypothetical film adaptation of the Nintendo property, and said that, yes, she would absolutely be into it. Unfortunately — for fans and Schafer — that dream is no more. This week, Nintendo announced the cast for its upcoming live-action Zelda film, and the lead roles went to a pair of younger and lesser-known actors.
