Google hides cheeky Zelda Easter eggs for live-action stars Bo Bragason and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth
Search their names and you’ll get a nostalgic nod to Link’s catchphrases and cartoon chaos.
As hype builds for Nintendo’s 2027 Legend of Zelda movie, Google is joining the fun with meme-worthy search surprises tied to the film’s lead actors.
Google has quietly added Easter eggs to its search results for The Legend of Zelda’s newly announced live-action stars: Bo Bragason (Princess Zelda) and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth (Link). Type in either name, and you’ll be greeted with a quirky message and emoji that reference the franchise’s most iconic, and occasionally ridiculous, moments.
What happens when you search?
- Bo Bragason: Displays the phrase “Well excuse me, Princess” with a female elf emoji
- Origin: The infamous catchphrase from the 1989 Legend of Zelda animated series, where Link sassily responds to Zelda’s critiques
- Meme status: Widely used online to mock overreactions or deliver playful sarcasm
- Benjamin Evan Ainsworth: Shows “KYAAAA! HYAAAAA!” with a male elf emoji
- Origin: Link’s signature battle cries from the games, especially during sword swings and jumps
- Fun fact: Link rarely speaks in the games, making these sounds his most recognizable vocalizations
These Easter eggs aren’t just cute, they’re a clever way to bridge Zelda’s legacy across generations. By referencing both the animated series and the games, Google taps into nostalgia while celebrating the fresh faces of the upcoming film. It’s also a subtle reminder that The Legend of Zelda is as much about personality as it is about lore.
With the movie set to premiere on May 7, 2027, and directed by Wes Ball, fans are already dissecting every detail, from casting choices to potential plot arcs. These search surprises are just the beginning of what’s shaping up to be a very interactive marketing campaign.
