Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, selected to portray Link in the upcoming Legend of Zelda film, made a notable appearance in the latest episode of House of the Dragon. He portrayed Daeron Targaryen, a young prince raised away from the royal court.
Ainsworth's role introduced viewers to Daeron as a thoughtful and honorable character devoted to his dragon. The episode aired this week and marked his entry into the series as the youngest son of Queen Alicent.
The actor has prior credits in productions such as Netflix's The Haunting of Bly Manor. His performance emphasized emotional expression over dialogue, aligning with the silent nature often associated with Link.
This casting choice provides an early look at Ainsworth's work in fantasy roles ahead of the Legend of Zelda movie adaptation.
