The internet is buzzing that Patricia Summersett, the voice of Princess Zelda herself in the recent Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, might be in talks for a role. Think about that for a second: the literal Princess of Hyrule could be chilling on the sidelines of a football pitch next to Dani Rojas.
But wait, it gets better. There’s chatter about Kyle Hebert (the voice of Zelda’s Great Deku Tree and Ryu from Street Fighter) as a potential rival coach. Can you imagine his booming voice telling Ted Lasso to “Be cautious, young one” before a big match? I’d pay good money just to hear that.
Why This Isn’t as Crazy as It Sounds
Look, Ted Lasso has always been about found family, overcoming personal demons, and the magic of kindness—themes that literally fuel The Legend of Zelda. A Princess of Hyrule coming to AFC Richmond? That’s just a royal level of positivity.

Plus, Jason Sudeikis is a known huge nerd. He once talked in an interview about how the show’s optimism is like a “warm hug from a side-quest NPC.” If he wants to cast someone who can literally summon a horse or talk to a tree, who are we to argue? I’m not crying, you’re crying.
