The Legend of Zelda Movie Adds Lydia Peckham to Its Cast
The Legend of Zelda live-action movie has added New Zealand actress Lydia Peckham to its growing cast, continuing a wave of casting announcements from this week. Peckham, known for her work in Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes and the MGM+ series Robin Hood, will join previously announced cast members Bo Bragason (Three Girls) as Princess Zelda and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth (House of the Dragon) as Link.
The film is being directed by Wes Ball, who helmed Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes in 2024. While production on the live-action adaptation appears to be moving forward, details about Peckham’s specific role in the movie remain undisclosed. Studio representatives have declined to comment on her character, and her representatives could not be reached for additional information at the time of reporting.
The casting continues to expand as the project moves through development, though many details about the film’s plot and character assignments remain under wraps—fitting for an adaptation of one of Nintendo’s most iconic franchises.
