Daily Debate: Which Actor Would You Like to Play Ganondorf in Breath of the Wild 2?
Posted on July 23 2019 by Brandon Schmitz
Although Nintendo has yet to confirm the identity of the now-infamous corpse in Breath of the Wild 2’s announcement trailer, all signs point to this being the Gerudo King himself, Ganondorf. If so — and if the first Breath of the Wild’s approach to voice acting is any indication — then this game will likely mark the first appearance of a fully-voiced Ganondorf. I don’t know about you, but just the idea of that has me bouncing up and down in my chair!
That begs the question, though: whose voice would best suit the big bad? Given Nintendo’s recent experience when it comes to hiring voice talent — especially in regards to the Fire Emblem series — I wouldn’t be surprised if they went with someone from the anime dub scene. Looking strictly within that realm, I can’t think of a better fit than Jamieson Price. Honestly, his low, thunderous voice would match the Demon King perfectly. Admittedly, too, after hearing his performance as Alexander the Great in Fate/Zero (who coincidentally bears some resemblance to Ganondorf, too), there’s no going back for me. I just can’t un-hear his voice in my head when I play Twilight Princess.
What do you think, though? Who would you like to play Ganondorf in Breath of the Wild 2? Let us know in the comments below!
