Summary

We've got a special treat for you! This week, the gang was joined by the one-and-only Patricia Summersett, or as you know her, the voice of Princess Zelda in Breath of the Wild and Age of Calamity. Patricia was gracious enough to spend over an hour chatting with us and didn't hold back on anything! How did she find the voice for Zelda? What were her reactions to some of the negative criticisms? How did working on Age of Calamity compare to Breath of the Wild? What's working for the Big N like? How has 2020 impacted voice acting as a medium? What are her favorite Zelda games? And maybe most importantly - did Nintendo name Riju's pet sand seal after her!? All this and so much more! I'll guarantee that no matter your thoughts on the voice acting, you'll fall in love with Patricia the actress and the person, so make sure you come and check this interview out!   Follow the Champions’ Cast on Twitter: Andy Spiteri – @Spiteri316 Alasyn Eletha – @AlasynEletha Patricia Summersett - @summersett_
