Thoughts on Breath of the Wild voices: Eng vs JP

I’ve commented a lot on videos from this channel as well, maybe you can find them. I’ve also pointed out translation differences and tidbits there, too.

• Mipha and Zelda, i have similar thoughts on. I think Mipha’s jp voice has better delivery and a closer fitting voice, while for Zelda, her eng delivery is better and her jp is closer to her age.
  
• Part of me was hoping that Mipha shared a seiyuu with Wendy Marvell, since they sound similar and are both healers; sadly for me this is not the case.
• They nailed Yunobo in localization, imo. It’s a young adult sounding voice, while fitting his timid and soft personality. Though they didn’t do so great in nonverbal sections. His jp just sounds like a kid. At least they kept the “goro”.
  
• Daruk’s eng came out on top for me.
  
• I always thought that Revali’s characterization change was for the better, sounding more cocky and less flamboyant. (that’s just the vibe i got, idk)
  
• Urbosa is a tie.
  
• Same for Teba, eng has slight edge for me.
• Same with Sidon, but his jp is definitely more energetic
  
• Interesting side note; his seiyuu is Yuki Kaaji, who’s not only known for playing Eren, but was also Link in HW. So how does that make you feel?
• I liked Riju’s jp way better, as she sounded more like a child/teen. (which she is)
  
• I prefer Rhoam’s eng and Impa’s jp
  
• might update with more later?
