Zelda Movie Gets Meme Easter Eggs on Google

Even though the live-action film adaptation of The Legend of Zelda won’t hit theaters for another two years, Google has started to plant Easter eggs ahead of time, as its search results for the actors portraying Link and Zelda subtly reference the popular game series’ history. Although the movie’s main storyline is still under wraps, the confirmed lead cast members are already receiving playful winks from one of the world’s most influential search engines.

As a passionate cinephile, I can’t help but reflect on the incredible impact of 2023’s blockbuster hit, The Super Mario Bros. Movie. With that success came whispers about which Nintendo intellectual property (IP) would grace our screens next. It was no shock when it was announced that The Legend of Zelda series was set for a major cinematic adaptation. However, the decision to create a live-action Zelda film instead of an animated one sparked doubts among fans. But with recent revelations about the casting of Link and Zelda, the skepticism seems to be fading, and now Google is joining in to build excitement for the next Nintendo blockbuster.

Initially discovered by Eurogamer, fans can find humorous captions next to the search bar when looking up the names of the main actors from the upcoming Zelda movie. For instance, Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, who will be playing Link, has a series of “KYAAAA! HYAAAAA!” sounds, similar to his in-game character, displayed above him. Similarly, Bo Bragason, cast as Princess Zelda, features the popular phrase “Well excuse me, Princess” at the top of her search results. This phrase was famously used by Link in an animated TV series called The Super Mario Bros. Super Show. Both Link’s characteristic grunts and his well-known sarcastic line have gained popularity as memes and provide a witty Easter egg to generate excitement for the actors’ roles in the upcoming Zelda movie.

Despite ongoing discussions about live-action versus animated adaptations of video games, the widespread appeal and accomplishments of the The Legend of Zelda series has many hopeful for the upcoming film. Whether or not The Legend of Zelda will replicate the box office successes of other video game movies remains to be seen, but eager fans may want to keep tabs on the project as more information becomes available.
