The upcoming live-action adaptation of The Legend of Zelda series has found its Link in actor Benjamin Evan Ainsworth. At 17 years old, Ainsworth is set to portray the iconic hero, but an interesting detail about his personal history with one of the franchise’s most acclaimed titles has recently surfaced. It seems that when a particular top-rated entry first arrived, he was not yet old enough to experience it firsthand.

Specifically, Ainsworth revealed in a recent conversation with GamesRadar that he was too young to play The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild when the game initially launched. While it’s generally expected that actors in significant adaptation roles possess a deep familiarity with the source material, Ainsworth’s situation presents a unique, understandable circumstance regarding his connection to such a pivotal installment. Despite this, he is now tasked with bringing the beloved character to life for the big screen.
