Hollywood star Sally Field has professed her love for The Legend Of Zelda videogame franchise, revealing she was introduced to it on the set of Mrs Doubtfire.
Look, we don’t normally post bits of ‘celebrity said a thing’ gossip, but this story’s so charming that it melted even our cynical hearts.
Sally Field, the veteran star of everything from Smokey And The Bandit to Steel Magnolias to The Amazing Spider-Man, is a fan of The Legend Of Zelda videogame franchise.
Field revealed as much in an interview with Jake Hamilton (via Gamespot), in which she admonished fellow actor Lewis Pullman when the latter admitted he wasn’t a player of Nintendo’s action-fantasy series. You can see the exchange below if you like videos.
Promoting her latest film, Remarkably Bright Creatures, Field revealed that she got her Zelda fandom from Robin Williams on the set of Mrs Doubtfire. The sadly-departed, much-missed Williams was a well-known Zelda obsessive – so much so that he named his daughter Zelda.
Field recalled that she and Williams played “early games of Zelda together” while renting a house during the production of that 1993 comedy.
“I still play with my grandsons,” she said. “Even when my grandsons aren’t there, I pretend they are there. I play them.”
In a world filled with bad news and horrible people, there’s something comforting about the thought of Sally Field, sitting with her Nintendo Switch on a cosy sofa, playing Tears Of The Kingdom. We wonder if she spent absolutely ages building weird wagons and tanks, as we did back when it came out in 2023?
Director Wes Ball has his adaptation of The Legend Of Zelda coming out in 2027. If you go and see it at your local multiplex, take a quick look around: you might just see Sally Field sitting near the back, clutching a massive bucket of popcorn.
