CloseNot sure if they should make a Zelda movie but if they did here's who I think they should cast.
Link - Link is an avatar like character. The various Links through out the timeline are rarely even related. Link can pretty much be anyone. Link could be cast as man or a woman and be any race really. It's all good to me. Instead of listing a one specific person here are a few possible Links.
Orlando Bloom/Ellen Page/Donald Glover/John Cho
Zelda - Zelda needs to be regal and determined how about Natalie Portman.
Ganondorf - Naveen Andrews I think can bring the kind of powerful presence needed for Ganondorf. EDIT: Oops I accidentally had one of his character name here sorry about that. I fixed it. I'm not that great at remembering names of various actors and actresses.
Extra Characters
Dampe Steve Buscemi
Tingle Danny Devito
If they do make a movie I prefer they make a new story rather than remake of a particular game in movie form.
Now one movie would be fine but since holly wood likes trilogies my suggestion is the first film be kind of a classic Zelda story but the 2nd and 3rd be a lot more weird and experimental like how Majora's Mask was. That would of coarse mean that Ganon only be in one of the 3 but again I think 1 film would be enough.
More importantly they should not try to cram too much Zelda stuff in the movie otherwise it'll be a mess like the Green Lantern film. Keep it simple.
Complex is good for games but simple is better for movies.
Alrighty then, let me know who you would cast and what your thoughts are on Zelda movies.
Edit: Some of the images links broke I guess so I had to replace a few.

Danny Devito as Tingle made me laugh so freakin' hard, aslo Orlando Bloom would be the sexiest Link alive. After all, he is already the sexiest LotR Elf alive.
Anyway, it's probably not likely that a live-action Zelda movie would ever get made, considering on how Nintendo of America won't support live-action adaptations of their franchises, at least after the dreaded Super Mario Bros. movie.

LockeZ
I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

I always thought that Link and Zelda were basically kids. So the actors and actresses listed seem a bit old to me. What would probably be cast is some unknown or some people from all the films based on YA novels. Maybe Zelda could be played by Sophie Turner or something.
Ganon would be mostly prosthetics and make-up I suppose so it'd be nice to have someone with a sweet voice. I saw Guardians of the Galaxy and Lee Pace did have a damn sweet voice in that one behind all that make up. Or maybe someone like Rhys Ifans or Mark Strong.

Glad I made someone laugh with that. But, seriously Danny Devito would be perfect for that role.
I heard that for a short while a Metroid film was being developed but it got canned.
This was around the time of Metroid Prime I think.

Well in some games they are and in some they are adults. I'd be fine with them casting kids but I'd rather have the adult Link and Zelda.
A thought came to mind. A lot of hollywood adaptations of fantasy stories have lately been warped into Lord of the Rings wannabes. I like Lord of the Rings after all why else would I pick Orlando Bloom he's damn near perfect for the role.
But, BUT, I hate when stuff like Alice and Wonderland gets warped into Lord of the Rings. Did you see that live action Alice it had wars and sanity and Alice with a sword and armor.the film had some redeeming qualities but that besides the point That is NOT Alice and Wonderland. Alice in Wonderland is supposed to be crazy, weird, and wondrous. My point is if they did do a Zelda film it better feel like Zelda and not try to rip off Lord of the Rings.

In what games are they adult? I don't think they've ever been over 20. And rarely over 16.
Orlando Bloom and Natalie Portman could be their parents. (Bloom could probably pull off a fatherish figure to Link and Natalie Portman's regality could easily fit as a queen)

Realistically, Legend of Zelda would make a great anime or CGI film. The art style used in Wind Waker would work pretty well in a movie if it were just done at higher quality. And the art style in Skyward Sword would actually work way better in a movie than it did in the game because the constantly always-moving camera ruined the effect. In a film they could keep the camera relatively steady most of the time, so the impressionistic effect would actually look like it's supposed to - in the game, the motion blur happening 100% of the time just made it look pixellated and low-res.
Ellen Page as Link would be fuckin awesome, he always had an androgynous look. This choice would piss off fans to no end, they would crucify Nintendo but still would be a cool direction
As long as it's about a bunch of white people in a Californian highschool, we're good.
Except Zelda. She'll be Japanese.

All of them should be Michael Cera, like the Nutty Professor.
Wow, I went from completely opposed to a Zelda movie, to extremely interested in like 5 seconds.

No, better, get the names and mythology of the characters wrong and have only the bad guy played by a non-white race. It'll be about Lonk and Zolda fighting Ginningdorf for the Threeforce. And have Zolda sum up everything that just happened in the last scene, while the scene is finishing up. Make sure they can't act to save their lives!
Seriously though, if they did make a Zelda movie, I care more about the story than the characters. I'd rather they have a completely new story, one not based on the games but using the history and mythology of the canon.
The narrator MUST be Morgan Freeman.
Anything less will be *meh*
And I vouch for the movie to NOT be about Link or Zelda, but to be about Hyrule instead. It'll be more of the 'life of the npc's' sort of flick...

Now that I think about it, I'd rather have an animated movie. You can do more with animation than live action because it's being drawn.

That would be interesting. I'd watch it.
