John Cena is probably not teasing a role in the upcoming Legend of Zelda live-action film. But after the wrestler-turned-actor posted a no-context image of Link from the original 1986 NES game on his Instagram, fans immediately started running with the mere suggestion that Cena could appear in the Miyazaki-esque film in development at Sony. To be as clear as possible, Cena is most likely not teasing anything here.
Having mostly seen Cena in comedic roles, my mind most immediately goes to Zelda characters that would fit his booming voice and large stature, and depending on how the movies handle the mountain-inhabiting “rock people,” the Gorons, I could easily see Cena as someone like Ocarina of Time’s Darunia.
