In an interview with GamesRadar+, Summersett reveals just how attached she has grown to her role since she voiced in Breath of the Wild. Though she’s voiced the princess in three games already, including Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, she claims she “could always take more of it.” Of course, this doesn’t mean that her return has been confirmed in the upcoming movie, as the cast list has yet to be revealed.

The Legend of Zelda movie

Earlier this year, there were rumors that a The Legend of Zelda movie is in the works courtesy of Illumination. The rumors were proven false, though they did correctly predict that Nintendo is working on adapting its highly successful franchise.

The movie is being directed by Maze Runner‘s Wes Ball, and it will be produced by Pikmin creator Shigeru Miyamoto and Avi Arad who is chairman of Arad Productions Inc. Somewhat surprisingly, the film is receiving financing from Sony Pictures Entertainment, though more than 50% will be financed by Nintendo.

With no DLC planned for Tears of the Kingdom, the announced movie is something for fans to look forward to if they’re searching for their next big dose of Zelda. No release date has been given yet.
