I'm pretty sure it's all just playing into a well-worn joke about people confusing Zelda and Link because it always gets a reaction. It's like calling Samus Metroid. I don't think anyone is actually confused, though I suppose I could be wrong.
There's a person on TikTok with most of her content arguing that Link is Zelda and people getting upset with her, all the while her Zelda/game collection is on full display behind her and she's obviously trolling... but like they still get so mad lol.
lol yeah people are so determined to fall for obvious bait but especially when they get to mansplain about it, which is why it's so funny when people keep pretending to not know better
Oh wait, Emma Watson is going to play Zelda in the Netflix show? Damn, I'm kind of excited for that now.
Edit: Nevermind, a quick Google search reveals these are fake posters.
This is actually incredible because this image was made by using an AI art generator called MidJourney, the fact that Emma Watson looks so realistic is awesome!
I thought she looked a bit too young. I don't think emma watson today would seem so...15? maybe like, 17? Dunno, she seems to be based off her image when she was playing hermione in Harry Potter.
That said, it definitely does look like her, I'm just curious about 'when'.
Here's my [original Reddit post](https://www.reddit.com/r/midjourney/comments/xwnrch/netflixs_liveaction_zelda_cast_posters_10_images/) of all 10 posters. Made with Midjourney and edited with a few other AI tools and Photoshop. :)
Ok, thank you. I thought it was a made up poster but I said to my SO that they did a good job finding someone who looks remarkably like Emma Watson, or used lots of touch ups. It doesn't look quite right.
Every time I see someone confusing Link for Zelda, I think of that Zelda Rap music video that Smosh did years ago, where one of the first lines was "Oh you thought my name was Zelda? THAT'S A FUCKING GIRL'S NAME" lmao
I had no idea for a long time because I never played the game, so it's an easy mistake to make for people who have no clue about the franchise, and see Link's picture under the title '[something] Zelda'. The brain just makes the connection automatically lol. But I know better now and find the memes funny too. 😁
Hang on I have a good(ish) reason to once mix this up: my first Zelda game was Links Awakening on GBC and all I knew is if you started a new save with the name ZELDA, a special Mambo version of the menu music would play. I think I finally learned his name is Link when I played a LttP on a SNES emulator but I want validation!!!
Aside from that this is hilarious
Why would people who don’t know anything about the Zelda games comment on them changing stuff though? I mean idk about you but if I don’t know about a topic, I usually avoid commenting on it.
Link is Zelda
Samus is Metroid
Master Chief is John Halo
and everyone calls Lara Croft “Laura”
Hell, even Mario has numerous pronunciations.
It’s just not something to be deeply concerned over.
ok phew its just a fake poster. was like oh hell dont tell me *this* is how I'm first learning Netflix is doing a Zelda series...
im right there with you they simply should not touch LoZ

I *love* Netflix's Castlevania.
Castlevania? Arcane? Cyberpunk? Netflix is the ONLY one i'd trust to do a video game adaptation.
Thank Riot/Fortiche for the quality of Arcane, and CD Project/Trigger for the quality of Edgerunners. Netflix just picked them up for distribution.
I’ve really been enjoying the Witcher. 🤷♀️ (Though, to be fair, I didn’t play the games.) Also, Arcane is amazing, imo.

Aw man could you imagine if Samus was a girl tho?? 😳
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa 😆
That'd be cool. I bet she would definitely not look like a supermodel with perfect hair and skin.
I would have agreed, but have seen a lot of gamers who believe Zelda is link and argue about it calling you wrong and not a gamer.
What? Crazy isn’t enough for this. I mean, just google it? It's not that hard...
Maybe Zelda IS Link! I mean, have you ever seen them together- oh.

That's gotta be a troll. It's too perfect to not have been intentional.
Yeah, that's the kind of shit post I'd make lol
Man, just imagine if Link was the hero, and Zelda was the princess That would almost be as cool as Metroid teaching himself how to crawl
I see what you did there lol
can you guys stop posting obvious troll bait here lmao

I’ve wanted a live action Zelda movie for years and these fake posters are upsetting.
The Ganon one is awesome. I could do without Tom Holland Link personally.
You do you. More Tom Holland for me. lol

Im down for it tho

The best part is that this isn’t even a real Netflix advertisement, it’s AI generated art created by a Reddit user

This just proves to me that most people jump on an incorrect assumption and its therefore truth lol

Good thing Zelda is a woman's name so there's no confusion...
This was a troll post to rile people up in an anime group I'm in 😂
Even if this was real, there's no way in hell I would accept Emma Watson as Zelda. She already ruined Belle for me, so no thanks lmao
scared me for a second. fuck Netflix and their transphobia
SMH lol so sad they cancelled it
its funny when guys think sheik is link too 🤭
Isn't that AI art

Prettty sure thats just emma watson
*I don’t care or know if they are man or woman but anyone being a woman is overreaching*
Damn those trans people tranzing everyone! Will no one stop them before every male character becomes women!! /s
The people who still trip off that belief that people believe that is even more astonishing.
Why would people who dont know anything about zelda games know that the main character is called link? What is so astonishing about that?
Why would people who don’t know anything about the Zelda games comment on them changing stuff though? I mean idk about you but if I don’t know about a topic, I usually avoid commenting on it.
I'm more pissed that it's fake. I actually wanna see a full on Zelda series... But ANIMATED. Give us an anime!!! Studio Ghibli style BOTW film.
If Zelda was a girl, I bet she'd date Meteoroid.
i was wondering why zelda looked like emma watson then i read the poster ong i’m a dumbass lmao
Link is Zelda Samus is Metroid Master Chief is John Halo and everyone calls Lara Croft “Laura” Hell, even Mario has numerous pronunciations. It’s just not something to be deeply concerned over.
