Hayate Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Hello guys ! I've been searching some informations about the Ocarina of Time Link's 2nd voice actor but I can't find anything now I seen a video some times ago with three footages that showed the three voice actors (the first one is the Japanese one from the "Live Everything" VHS, the second one that I'm searching was a lower pitched one and the third one (the final one). Have you any informations or videos about that second voice actor ? Merci beaucoup and vive Ocarina of Time ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fanatic of Zelda Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 As long as I know, the Hero of Time (OoT Link) is only voiced by 2 persons: Fujiko Takimoto (child) and Nobuyuki Hiyama (retarded adult). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fanatic of Zelda Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 ...excuse me? Adult Link in OoT is child-minded (due to he was in coma for 7 years), and his voice acting reflects this (the high pitch, somewhat estrange sound (ie: yawning), etc).

Those are the final version voice actors, there were two voice actors (maybe more but just two known voice actors) in some beta versions of the game.

xdaniel Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Can't really contribute much either, but I'm not sure if we can even figure out who those previous voice actors were. Link's voice clips aren't exactly long or distinct enough to compare them to the works of other VAs, so unless we find some mention from that timeframe regarding Link's VA that isn't Fujiko Takimoto or Nobuyuki Hiyama, we're out of luck. Also, something else to consider, what if the VAs themselves actually didn't change, but only changed their tone/pitch/etc? Granted, I don't think I've heard Takimoto or Hiyama in other roles so far (unlike Navi's Kaori Mizuhashi, who I've heard in 4+ different roles in anime by now) so I can't really judge their ability to change the sound of their voices. However, there are Japanese VAs with quite a voice range, maybe those to belong to that group as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any damn idea what retarded even means, or not? I am going to let you know right now how much your ignorance on the subject offends enrages the evil inner fanboyish inside me?

Arcaith Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Actually, in that instance, the use of the word retarded does make sense, since his body aged but his mind wasn't conscious of it. To retard something means to slow it down, and in Link's case, his mind actually stopped for a while. At least, that's what we deduce from dialogue. But we're getting offtopic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
