Staff Sez #4: Voices for the Legend of Zelda!
« on: December 15, 2011, 09:49:01 PM »

The plucky NWR staff come up with great casting choices for The Legend of Zelda!

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/feature/28653

After a long hiatus, Staff Sez returns once again! The Holidays are upon us, and there is a VERY good chance many boys and girls will be receiving The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword as a Christmas present! We at NWR love the game dearly, so it will be a special Christmas for those boys and girls! But for all the joy and wonder Skyward Sword has to offer, we wonder... how would the game be like if it had voices? Most importantly...

Who would be the worst possible choice to voice Link, Zelda and Ganondorf?

The NWR answered, in ten words or less, the following...

Matt "King Darunia" Walked said...

"Anyone"

J.P. "Kafei" Corbran said...

"The cast of Star Fox 64"

Danny "Toilet Hand Guy" Bivens said...

"The English voice cast from Shenmue"

Neal "Great Deku Tree" Ronaghan said...

Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and James Earl Jones

Nate "Dampe" Andrews said...

Link - Cam Clarke, Ganondorf - Vincent Price, Zelda - John DiMaggio 

James "Skull Kid" Dawson said...

"Any voiced characters would ruin the series for me"

Carmine "Happy Mask Salesman" Red said...

Mike Meyers. Cameron Diaz. Eddie Murphy.

Scott "Linebeck" Thompson said...

Link - Ray Romano, Zelda - Jennifer Tilly, Ganondorf - Tim Curry 

Jared "Beedle" Rosenberg said...

Link - Woody Allen, Zelda - Fran Drescher, Ganondorf - Mike Tyson 

Zach "Midna" Miller said...

Link: Vin Diesel, Zelda: Penelope Cruz, Ganondorf: Patrick Warburton

Josh "Old Man" Max said...

"Link - Christopher Walken, Ganondorf - Zach Braff, Zelda - Clint Eastwood"

Daan "Talt" Koopman said...

"Anyone in my opinion"

Nicholas "Kaepora" Bray said...

"Link: Keanu Reeves, Ganon: James Earl Jones, Zelda: Zoe Deschanel"

Patrick "Talon" Barnett

"Link - Jack Black, Zelda - Lani Minella (Luke from Professor Layton Series), Ganondorf - Gilbert Gottfried"

Maybe in the next few podcasts you can have the casts reenact a couple of scenes so we all know how badly all the dialog will need to be rewritten before they start putting voices to it:)


I would really love to see the whole series turned completely inside out.   Of course mostly, I'd just prefer new IP and new fresh stories. (with great gameplay of course).

I think somebody (not naming names) went over the word limit.

We know Link and Ganon will be Bosch and Lowenthal in some combination.

In fact everyone will be voiced by Patrick Stewart.

Why on that kicked only picking people who use to be on ST:TNG.

I came up with a second answer in the email thread for this, based on recent commercials, where all three of them (and everyone else) would be voiced by Robin Williams. In my mind, he does the entire voice track for all characters in the game in one take.

Actually I didn't see your comment until the other day when I logged into Skype for the staff meeting and it showed me a flood of Growl notifications of what came in after I left the last time. I must have signed out before you said that the previous week, so I didn't know you'd said it when I said it initially.

John Malkovich as John Malkovich.

He'd play himself in the zelda franchise.
