The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is the latest and greatest installment in the franchise, and with voice acting back for the new release, here is our full list of main voice actors that appear in the game.
The Legend of Zelda is one of the oldest and most beloved video game franchises ever. After starting in the 1980s, the gaming series has spanned over four decades, with each game reinventing the franchise while also maintaining and developing a long roster of iconic gaming characters.
While the franchise was able to succeed without any voice acting early on, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild flipped the series on its head by introducing voiced characters for the first time ever.
As a result, the upcoming Tears of the Kingdom title is set to bring back these voices while also adding some new actors to the mix.
