Zelda’s voice actor didn’t know she was auditioning for the titular character



It seems that the voice actor behind Zelda in each Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom did not even know she was auditioning for the character.


To say Nintendo is secretive is like saying you want air to breathe: the 2 come hand in hand. Clearly that is particularly been the case with Tears of the Kingdom, a sport that solely actually had correct trailers this yr, only a few months earlier than it got here out. So it should not be all that stunning to listen to that Zelda’s voice actor herself, Patricia Summersett, was not advised that the character she was auditioning for was in reality the princess of Hyrule.


In an interview with IGN, Summersett spoke about her function as Zelda, and the way she ended up with it within the first place. Unsurprisingly, she wasn’t advised all that a lot about it previous to her audition. “It simply regarded like an RPG fantasy,” Summersett shared. “I did not have another info than that it was for a princess character who had quite a lot of weight on her shoulders.”


A number of weeks after auditioning, she acquired the information that she could be taking part in Zelda – although she was grateful she did not know that previous to the audition. “I’ve a sense that if I knew what it was, I’d’ve overthought the method,” she mentioned. “I am pleased I went in blind.”


Summersett was appropriately secretive when requested about if Zelda’s function could be greater on this sequel, as there is not all that a lot voice performing in Breath of the Wild, although did say “In the event you have a look at the trailers, you may see that the gameplay is indicative of a really massive journey. Everytime you get to re-approach a sport after having already performed a personality, you are going to need to stretch so far as you may.”


On the subject of whether or not she thinks followers might be pleased on the subject of fan service, the reply was a powerful “Sure. Oh yeah.” That would imply something, clearly, however it’s nonetheless thrilling as a Zelda fan myself. Now all we want is the flexibility to play as Zelda herself – and if we’re fortunate, it is perhaps doable.
