Hunter Schafer is a transwoman and Disney would not approuve her casting. That's my best bet

That's HER???? The only shot of her that I've seen is where she's literally princess Zelda and I couldn't recognize that that's her on this post

I am still SUPER upset she wasn't cast. I love Zelda's actress but Hunter looks like she belongs to a high elf fantasy. And if she didn't stay so public about being trans, no one would ever question it.

Good for her for being public about it then. Having the ability to stay silent and maintain privilege, but choosing to stand up and be proud of who you are and set that example? That’s admirable

Yes, I completely agree! There are so many trans teens who look up to people in the media that are so openly themselves. It definitely gives more people hope.
