Takanishi worked on Link's portrayal in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, as well as Breath of the Wild and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. You may recognise Takanishi from Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, as well as Final Fantasy 14: Endwalker. He also played Wataru Frazer in Scarlet Nexus.

Ganondorf - Matthew Mercer

Ganondorf is back at full power at the start of Tears of the Kingdom, and as such, is fully voiced this time around. He's played by Matthew Mercer, who you may know from Critical Role. He voiced Chrom in this year's Fire Emblem Engage, the main playable character in Marvel's Midnight Suns, as well as Falco in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.

Mortellaro, who played the character in Breath of the Wild, where he also served as the game's voice director. He has worked similar roles on games like God of War: Ragnarok, Horizon: Forbidden West, and Octopath Traveller 2.

Riju - Elizabeth Maxwell
