Google Adds Zelda Movie Easter Eggs with Memes

Sure, here’s a reimagined version of the article:

So, there I was, mindlessly Googling and stumbled upon this quirky little Easter egg from Google about—wait for it—The Legend of Zelda movie. Yep, a live-action one! Okay, maybe you already knew that, but here’s the kicker: Google is dropping hints like breadcrumbs for this flick that’s not even out for almost, what, two years? I mean, come on! It’s wild.

But, here’s what tickled my brain. You search for who’s playing Link and Zelda—Benjamin Evan Ainsworth and Bo Bragason, by the way—and you get these cheeky callbacks to the game. Like, above Ben’s name are the “KYAAA! HYAAA!” sounds from the game, and for Bo, it’s “Well excuse me, Princess!” Does anyone else remember that from the old Mario show? Hilariously random, right? Anyway—oh yeah, so folks are buzzing about these references.

And, can I just say: the live-action thing. Kinda bold, right? After Mario’s box office crush in 2023, speculating went nuts over what Nintendo would throw at us next. In comes The Legend of Zelda. But, a lot of chatter about why not go animated. Maybe it’s cool? Maybe a misfire? Who knows?

I heard they’ve delayed the release a smidge—May 7, 2027 now. Nope, don’t cancel your plans yet, just circle the date in your mental calendar. Yeah, just two extra months. Sony and Nintendo say it’s for “production reasons.” Sure, we’ll see.

Despite debates over live-action versus animated video games, Zelda fans are holding their breath, hoping it doesn’t crash and burn. Could it hit Mario levels at the box office? Hard to tell, but I’ll keep refreshing for updates like it’s my new hobby. Keep your eyes peeled, folks, because this could be either epic or epically “what were they thinking.” Here’s hoping it’s the former.
