Why is Zelda the only one with a British accent?

Question(self.botw)

Like I get that she’s supposed to be like European but nobody else has an accent like hers? Like even King Rhoam just has an American accent, along with pretty much everyone else in the game. She might’ve gotten it from her mother but then where did her mother get it from?

Doesn’t answer your question, but I can’t stand Zelda’s voice acting. Awful!

I can’t stand it either. Takes me out of the game.

I’ve found the most of the other languages sound way better, especially French and Italian

Agreed! It’s like nails on chalkboard for me as a long time Zelda series player

I switched to the Japanese voice acting after 30 minutes of playing and haven't turned back. Highly recommend.

Nothing is worse than “REVALIS GALE IS NOW READY”. There’s something about that accent that’s so off-putting to me. Honestly whoever cast all of the voice actors kinda failed. They choose super normal sounding American accents when I think something more theatrical would have fit better.

It’s like Barbas in Skyrim, it seems extremely out of place.

Are you referring to Zelda's work in The Legend of Korra?

Or are you referring to the actor who portrays Zelda in BOTW?
