So, as you, (hopefully) saw there are a few fans who suggested that idea of casting Hunter Schafer as Princess Zelda for a Live-Action show and or Movie and in terms of looks alone, yeah she'd be pretty much perfect for that. She almost does look like Zelda if she was translated into Live-Action the only thing that would really need to be done is give her pointy ears.
And given how Zelda has been interpreted differently over the course of the series thanks to the series' wonky timeline, several reincarnations of her not to mention the manga adaptations and at least one TV show there's a lot of freedom in how Zelda can be written and portrayed. Hell in the Twilight Princess Manga it's heavily implied that Zelda in that series is in love with Midna and her all but stated romantic feelings for Link means they could even play around with her sexuality if they wanted and make her bisexual like Schafer.
But in terms of casting I wholeheartedly support this idea and think she would be perfect for the role.

Counter argument
But what if we pick a popular actress like Zendaya, or Zendaya, or Zendaya, to play her?
And Tom Holland for Link
And Mark Whalberg for Ganandorf

She's new to the business, at least as far as TV and film goes. She's mostly known for playing the character Jules and the drama series Euphoria. She played Tigris Snow in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes Ruka in the anime movie Belle. She'll be playing the lead character, Gretchen, in the upcoming horror movie Cuckoo and will be in the a game titled OD which is being directed by Hideo Kojima. She'll also be in the upcoming anthology film Kinds of Kindness and another film titled Mother Mary which seems to be some sort of melodrama which is about a relationship of a musician and a fashion designer.
She was actually a model for a few years and got a lot of attention due to being a transwomen before going into show business and she's honestly pretty talented and I hope to see her in more films, shows and games. Personally I for think she would be a perfect fit for Stephanie Brown aka Batgirl aka Robin IV aka Spoiler as she not only looks like Steph but she acts a lot like her behind the scenes.
