boooo typical nintendo casting L. They could have cast Hunter Schafer, the literal perfect Princess Zelda. I mean.... look at her!!!

One should not make the mistake to just judge a single photograph, for a role in a film. Its also important how they move and talk, and what the perception of the person based on existing films is. I'm not in the position to judge about any of these castings or your suggestion, just wanted bring in this point into the discussion.

I was crossing my fingers for Hunter Schafer, but the casting they chose looks pretty decent. They're a bit younger than I expected but I guess it's lore accurate.

Y'all are weird as fuck about this casting I don't like it.

People have different preferences. It would be nicer to say "I don't see it, I don't think she would fit," instead of "y'all are weird as fuck..." that's kind of rude and weird to say.

No I think it's weird. I'm not trying to be nice I'm trying to say this sentiment on the Internet has crossed a line

How so? What exactly about people proposing this actress do you have a problem with?

I'd like to give you the benefit of the doubt that your intentions are good, but you're being awfully evasive about what your actual objection is.

Is this a criticism of the quote, or a response to it?

Once again, you're not actually just stating your issue, and your responses are ambiguous enough that they could be interpreted either as an objection to people treating Hunter Schafer in a way that you perceive as negative, or an objection to Hunter Schafer.

I'm going to give coyotino the benefit of the doubt here and say that meant "Look at her, she already looks like Zelda" just based on the previous sentence

My Spidey sense is tingling hard with this one.

Yeah, mine too
