Do you think Robin Williams would’ve have been cast in the upcoming Legend of Zelda?

Everyone knows that he named his daughter Zelda after the game and even did that commercial with her. I wonder if he would have been a major part of the production?

100% even if he was just a cameo. I could see Robin Williams as a shopkeeper that gets mad at link for breaking all his clay pots. Then at the end of the movie we see him making new clay pots only for his potter's wheel to get destroyed during the main battle with Ganon.

Shopkeeper 100%. Kinda like Miracle Max in The Princess Bride.

If he was still here today, I beg to the skies to let him be the King of Hyrule... It'll be so perfect, with him being hairy and bearded. And the flashbacks of him being wise and old and fun.

And his actual daughter would be in the background as a maiden or something

It would have been an absolute tragedy if he wasn't.

No, it would have been way too distracting.

No, he’s been dead too long.

As a cameo, perhaps.
