Even if she doesn’t get to portray Zelda herself, Summersett could get a chance to be in the film in the same vein asCharles Martinet’s cameos inThe Super Mario Bros. Movie. Martinet was the former voice of Mario and Luigi, who was brought in to voice various background characters for the animatedMariofilm. Summersett could be in theZeldafilm as something similar, like as an attendant to Princess Zelda, for example. While the live-action actors for Link and Zelda haven’t been confirmed yet, Summersett being able to play the princess in both live-action and video game mediums would be an amazing opportunity.
