It will take a while until the release, so we would be grateful if you would wait patiently and look forward to it.”
One of the brief videos recently leaked from the set of The Legend of Zelda movie showed Princess Zelda actress Bo Bragason standing beside a pair of horses, interacting with a mysterious individual who gives her a weapon. We now know that the character is none other than Impa, and she is played by Australian actress Dichen Lachman. She is a recurring character in the series, portrayed as Princess Zelda’s nursemaid or protector.
