## Key points

- A returning N64 voice actor was cast for the same character.
- Nintendo used blind auditions to find voices resembling the originals.
- Speculation about Navi’s actor remains unconfirmed.

## Summary

Nintendo says the new voice cast for its Switch 2 version of *Ocarina of Time* includes an actor who also voiced the same character in the original N64 game. The return came about by chance during auditions, as the team sought voices that would match players’ established impressions of the characters.

Producer Eiji Aonuma and director HokWai Ng say the Japanese auditions were conducted without revealing actors’ names, so casting decisions focused on vocal similarity. Nintendo has not identified the returning actor or character; speculation points to Kaori Mizuhashi, who voiced Navi, but her return has not been confirmed. The remake’s earlier developer interviews covered its team and design sketches.
