The Legend of Zelda is one of the most popular video game franchises in the history of the industry, for many, equaled with Super Mario Bros. in Nintendo. The plumber will have a movie soon, Link and the princess not yet, but the fans imagine to Tom Holland playing the brave warrior.
For now, the video game company has no plans to bring Link’s adventures to the big screen, neither in animated nor in live-action format, but the artist Dan Lavelle has done the work for Nintendo to imagine what Holland would look like as the hero of Hyrule.
Tom Holland is highly known in the entertainment industry for playing Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and for playing Nathan Drake in the Uncharted movie.
To turn the actor into Link, the content creator used artificial intelligence (AI) software Midjourney. Like the different versions of OpenIA’s DALL-E, it is a program with which users can create images from textual descriptions.
This is what Tom Holland looks like as Link
According to the report published on the website of cinemascomicsDan Laveille relied on AI to show the British performer as adaptation based on the model of Breath of the Wildalthough it would be interesting to appreciate it also as that of the Hero of Time or in the version of the Kingdom of Twilight.
The designer made it clear that the images were a fan cast, since some Internet users were excited, firstly, by the possible arrival of a live-action film of The Legend of Zelda, and secondly, because Tom Holland is a very beloved actor. by the geek public.
Sadly, Nintendo has no plans yet to bring Zelda and Link to the big screen, but it would certainly be a box office hit, especially if Holland is part of the cast.
