After 28 years, Nintendo unintentionally recast the actor behind Navi in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time's remake to preserve "the feel of the original"

For The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time's shiny new remake, Nintendo unintentionally cast the same actor twice - 28 years apart - to deliver Navi's infamous "Heys!" and "Listens!"

The Switch 2's Ocarina of Time makes a pretty substantial change to the N64's Ocarina of Time, released almost three decades prior. There's proper voice acting this time, of course - not just grunts and murmurs and hyahs. But even when retroactively adding new things, Nintendo wanted to ensure the remake's cast matched the original's pretty faithfully, so the developer held blind auditions that eventually paved the way for one actor to reprise their role during Link's adventure.
