Actor Benjamin Evan Ainsworth Missed Out on Breath of the Wild Due to Age and Lack of a Switch
Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, set to portray Link in the upcoming live-action Legend of Zelda movie, shared an interesting tidbit about his gaming experience. While titles like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom have broadened the appeal of the main series and attracted numerous new fans, Ainsworth himself was initially unable to experience the former.
The reason? His age. At the time the game was prevalent, Ainsworth was too young to fully engage with it, compounded by the fact that he didn't own a Nintendo Switch. This meant that a pivotal entry in the franchise, which has heavily influenced the direction of the series and captivated a new generation of players, remained out of reach for the actor destined to embody its iconic hero.
English Translation:
Actor Benjamin Evan Ainsworth Couldn't Play Breath of the Wild Due to His Age (and Lack of a Switch)
Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, who has been cast as Link in the upcoming live-action Legend of Zelda movie, revealed that he was unable to play The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. This was initially due to his age and the fact that he didn't have a Nintendo Switch.
While The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom have significantly expanded the mainline series' reach and brought in many new players, the actor chosen to play live-action Link missed out on experiencing the former title. His inability to play was primarily a consequence of his age at the time, coupled with the absence of a Nintendo Switch console.
