Takaya Imamura Revealed His Dream Pick for Tingle in Zelda MovieDon’t Worry; It’s Not Jason Momoa Nor Jack Black
Many questions linger regarding the upcoming Legend of Zelda movie. Who will wield the Master Sword? Will Princess Zelda rock a flowing gown or a warrior’s attire? But amidst the speculation for Link and Zelda, another burning question simmers: Will the balloon-loving Tingle grace the silver screen, and if so, who should don his green tights? Well, Takaya Imamura has recently revealed his dream casting choice.
"Masi Oka," he said in a recent interview with VGC. "You know the TV series Heroes? The Japanese character who goes ‘yatta!’, I’d like him to do it."
Oka is best known for his scene-stealing performance as Hiro Nakamura in Heroes. After Heroes and its sequel series, Heroes Reborn, he has worked on plenty of movies and shows that show his wide range. From action flicks like Bullet Train and The Meg to the critically acclaimed Hawaii Five-O reboot, Oka’s comedic timing and infectious enthusiasm are a perfect match for Tingle’s boundless energy. It helps that his signature "yatta!" pose in Heroes closely resembles Tingle's poses in certain artwork.
Whether director Wes Ball will consider Imamura's suggestion to heart or even include Tingle in the film remains to be seen. However, Ball did describe the Zelda movie as a "live-action Miyazaki" film, and Tingle's eccentric balloon-selling antics might align with the often whimsical nature of Miyazaki’s works. So, there's still a chance, perhaps.
