After the recent casting announcements for Nintendo`s upcoming live-action `Legend of Zelda` movie, Google introduced a delightful Easter egg into its search results. Users searching for Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, cast as Link, and Bo Bragason, playing Princess Zelda, will discover a special surprise alongside their standard search information.
Whether on mobile or desktop, inputting these actors` names into the search bar not only brings up images, Wikipedia entries, social media profiles, and casting news, but also includes a charming reference to their iconic future roles.
Link`s Iconic Cries and Zelda`s Classic Line
Specifically, a search for Benjamin Evan Ainsworth (Link) reveals the distinct battle cries: `KYAAAA! HYAAAAA!`—mimicking Link`s signature sounds as he navigates Hyrule. This is accompanied by a small male elf emoji, adding a thoughtful detail.
Similarly, searching for Bo Bragason (Zelda) brings up the memorable line: `Well, excuse me, Princess,` paired with a female elf emoji. This playful phrase is a direct nod to Link`s popular catchphrase from the animated `Legend of Zelda` series, which fans might recall from its Friday airings alongside `The Super Mario Bros. Super Show.`
