Zelda’s VA Argues for Coexisting Versions, Not a Torch-To-Another Split

Patricia Summersett, long-time Zelda voice actress, says she doesn’t want to “pass the torch” because there are already many versions of Zelda and they can all coexist across timelines and eras. She praises the community’s acceptance of different Zeldas, notes that newcomers still discover Breath of the Wild, and hints that future Zelda projects—like remakes or remasters—could appear without necessitating a single successor voice. The piece also references Nintendo’s ongoing 40th anniversary context and potential direction for the series.

A Decade in Zelda's Voice: Summersett Reflects on Voicing Princess Zelda

Patricia Summersett has voiced Princess Zelda since 2017, narrating the character in Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom, and various Hyrule Warriors titles. She recalls auditioning for a role she didn’t fully know at the time, the collaborative, meticulous process with director Jamie Mortellaro, and how Zelda evolves across games while retaining a consistent core. The Zelda Notes helped her inhabit Zelda’s inner world, and she expresses gratitude for returning to Hyrule rather than passing the torch. Summersett also cites Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess as favorites and notes the Zelda 40th anniversary as a milestone for the decade-long journey.

Patricia Summersett Returns as Zelda's Voice in Tears of the Kingdom.

Patricia Summersett, who voiced Princess Zelda in Breath of the Wild, will reprise her role in the upcoming game, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The game will also feature Matthew Mercer as the voice of Ganondorf. Copies of the game have leaked, so fans should be wary of spoilers. The game will be the first Nintendo-published game to retail for $70, but Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser believes the price is justified due to the game's "deeply immersive" nature.
