Despite not being allowed to speak publicly about it yet, her voice could clearly be heard in some of the game’s recent trailers in which she asks Link to come find her, so it is unclear as to why Nintendo had asked her to keep it under wraps. In the same tweet, the actress further expressed her hype for the game.
Who is Zelda’s Voice Actor in Tears of the Kingdom?
Despite the near-universal acclaim that the game’s predecessor received, there were some fans who took issue with the voice acting.Summersett even commented on thisa couple of years back, standing by her performance and explaining how it was rooted in her relation to the character’s struggle throughout the game. A lot of critics have stated that the voice acting had improved across the board in the spin-off/prequelHyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, so it’ll be interesting to see if this next game continues the uptick.
Despite the minimal plot details spilled,Tears of the Kingdom’s story has been hyped up more than the previous game’s, suggesting that there might be more voice acting than evenAge of Calamity. It’s anyone’s guess as to who else is slated to speak in the game, let alone who they’ll be voiced by. With theinfamous Korok Seed side questconfirmed to make its return, perhaps it’s a sign that Cristina Vee could be back as Hestu.
