Video game adaptations always come with an added layer of pressure. Die-hard fans expect near-accurate depictions of their beloved characters and plotlines, while filmmakers are tasked with bringing decades of lore to life on the big screen while adding their own stamp to it. Lucky for longtime The Legend of Zelda gamers, their title character is in good hands. Bo Bragason is set to play Princess Zelda, the Kingdom of Hyrule matriarch and resident damsel-in-distress in The Legend of Zelda, out next spring. But before she dons the iconic elf ears on the silver screen, audiences can catch her playing Oona in Amazon Prime’s Sterling Point, the bingeworthy drama series reviving classic teen TV and making the rounds on Gay Twitter. With Sterling Point building buzz and Zelda on the horizon, Bragason’s star is only beginning to rise. We caught up with the booked-and-busy actor, where she confessed her greatest temptations, obsession with cats, and lackluster cooking skills.
