Nintendo has just announced a live-action Legend of Zelda film, in collaboration with Sony Pictures and Avi Arad. Let’s see who might fit the many roles this ‘legendary’ series has to offer.
Link needs to be short in Nintendo’s Zelda movie

How tall is Link? It’s a question that’s puzzled scientists for eons.
It depends on the game, but generally Link stands somewhere between 3’10” and 5’2”. He’s a short king, and it’s one of many reasons he’s an icon.
Nintendo is making a live-action Legend of Zelda movie with Sony, presumably starring Link as the chief protagonist. Since the announcement, there has been a flurry of fancasting, as the Legend of Zelda faithful pick their favorite choices to play the sword-wielding adventurer. 5’7” Tom Holland and 5’10” Timothée Chalamet have been thrown around a lot online (6’2” Chris Pratt has also been mentioned, but I’m choosing to interpret that as a joke), and a more likely option might be 5’10” Thomas Brodie-Sangster, who worked with Zelda movie director Wes Ball on the Maze Runner movies. But there’s one problem: They’re all too tall (call it a reverse Jack Reacher problem).
We’ve been through this before with the X-Men movies. Wolverine is 5’3”. Hugh Jackman is 6’3”. Jackman is fantastic as Wolverine, but I fully support any and all efforts to digitally alter those movies to make Wolverine a full foot shorter.
Don’t make that same mistake, Sony. Keep Link short! You’re not limited on good options: 5’1” Elliot Page! 5’5” Daniel Radcliffe! 5’5” Frankie Muniz! 4’10” Danny DeVito! 5’4” Joe Pesci? Hey, 5’4” Martin Scorsese is an underrated actor, too.

Who needs Black Friday when ridiculous Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 coupons like this exist
With just under two weeks until Black Friday, I've spotted quite a few early Black Friday gaming monitor deals so far. Yet, while doing a bit of window shopping, I spotted an absurd Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 Amazon coupon that had me stumped for a solid five minutes. The check box discounts smashes previous offers I’ve come across to pieces, and I honestly didn’t expect to see our favorite OLED ultrawide screen this cheap during 2023.
