Fan-Casting The Legend Of Zelda TV Show
8. Navi - Saoirse Monica-Jackson
Many readers might recoil in horror upon hearing this name, and the thought of seeing this annoying fairy character make it into live-action might be a little too much to bear.
However, a guiding hand that doesn't take up ample space is a tremendous advantage in a fantasy series, and the use of fairies in Zelda would give it a unique stamp.
Navi would need to work as a helpful figure but also capture some of that iconic irritating presence to reflect the character entirely. Therefore, the leading star of the hit series Derry Girls - Saoirse Monica-Jackson - would fit like a glove. She has proved herself to be a talented comedy performer and is an expert at making her characters likeable, despite how annoying they might be.
What more can you ask for with this loveable yet grating LOZ fixture?
Additionally, her thick Northern Irish accent would add an extra layer to Navi. It would stand out amongst the other characters cast in this article, helping her presence to feel unique. Irish accents could even go on to become a recurring quality between fairies in the series.
