We saw a new trailer for Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom yesterday, but one of the main talking points is about the potential cast of the game.
Shortly after yesterday’s Nintendo Direct, fans began to speculate that voice actor and critical role cast member Matthew Mercer had joined the Breath of the Wild sequel to voice Calamity Ganon. Those who are fans of Mercer’s previous work were quick to recognize the actor’s voice, but neither Nintendo nor Mercer confirmed whether or not fans were right.
If you’re unfamiliar with Mercer, I’m sure you’ve at least heard his voice at some point; I mean, the actor has a whopping 436 credits to his name on IMDB (Opens in a new tab). Most people know the actor from his role in Critical Role, the D&D show that stars well-known voice actors like Ashley Johnson and Laura Bailey, but you may also recognize them from their roles in Dragon Age: Absolution, Attack on Titan, Overwatch 2, JoJo’s Bizzare Adventure, Cyberpunk Edgerunners and many more.
Una blog on Twitter has revealed that many of Matthew Mercer’s fanatics are enthusiastic about the possibility that the actor will be part of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, especially because this will be technically the second that the actor will play Ganon, aunque the first one. time under contract with Nintendo. If you didn’t know, Mercer played the Legend of Zelda villain in the Super Smash Bros. fan movie. Brawl 2009 There Will Be Brawl, so it looks like we’ve come full circle.

While the cast is clearly important to many fans, there were plenty of other things in the new Tears of the Kingdom trailer that got us excited as well. First, we finally got confirmation of Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’s $70 price tag, as well as a look at the game’s Collector’s Edition and the new Amiibo Link, which Nintendo says won’t will create no precedent for everyone.
