Brendan Fraser's Comeback Era Includes Getting Wrecked In The Legend Of Zelda

After years out of the Hollywood spotlight, The Mummy and The Whale actor Brendan Fraser has made a huge comeback. The actor has new film roles lined up, but right now, his most pressing concern is avoiding getting steamrolled by the notorious Lynel mini-bosses in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

In an interview, Fraser was asked whether he was playing any video games, and he explained that he was "still stuck" on the critically acclaimed 2017 Zelda game. "I want to know how to get better weapons without getting my ass kicked by all the Lynels," Fraser said to IGN, while also lamenting that there simply aren't enough bomb-flowers in the game. While his interviewer suggested he consult online guides, Fraser responded that he was looking to beat the game the old-fashioned way, without relying on walkthroughs.

The next film that Fraser will appear in, Pressure, will see him portray Supreme Allied Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower, one of the key leaders of the Allied forces during World War 2 and the 34th US President who served from 1953-61. The actor also announced last year that he would reprise his role as Rick O'Connell in the fourth Mummy movie.

While the next big Legend of Zelda game has yet to be revealed, now is a great time to jump into Breath of the Wild and its sequel, Tears of the Kingdom, as they received impressive upgrades for the Switch 2 last year. A live-action Legend of Zelda movie is also in production, featuring Bo Bragason as Zelda and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Link. The Sony Pictures movie will be exclusive to Netflix following its theatrical run, as part of the company's new deal with the streaming giant.
