I think I'll just put their first five lines here. You may audition with as many lines as you'd like. And please do not ignore the Extras just because their roles are not as big.
I always pictured Ezlo having a squeakier voice, but you can audition with whatever seems accurate. I know he's ageless, but he was a minish elder, so he should sound oldish
1. Ow! Ow, ow!! Hey, somebody!! HELP ME--!!
(The rest of these lines are samples from the game, and will not be in chapter 1)
2. Ow! What's wrong with you!? Do you like watching me take this abuse!? Help me!
3. Phew! Well done! That was close. Not that I couldn't handle them myself. But that's beside the point! What in the world is a lone child doing so deep in the woods?
4. Ho ho! I see, I see... you know, you and I have a lot in common. You see, I, too, am on a quest to break a curse of Vaati's. ANd you say that reforging the sacred blade can break his curse, eh? Well, then you have found yourself a companion, my boy! My name is Ezlo. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
Vaati the Wind Mage is an evil sorcerer. He should sound more mischevious than anything. He's quite arrogant and thinks he's better than Link. His voice should sound subtle and subdued, but still imtimidating when it needs to be. I put him as a teen because he looks slightly older than Link, but he is still a child and should sound between the ages of 10 and 14.
1. (Amused) No… just watching your infantile skill.
2. (Condescending and arrogant) Shh, now, now. I’ll show you a REAL way of cutting down trees. (Blows out a soft breath, cutting all the trees down with the wind) (Short, arrogant chuckle)
3. (At first humble, but quickly becomesSinister) I am thankful and happy… that this will be so easy. The only way to get close to the box sealed with the holy Picori blade was as the champion of the martial arts tournament! I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT!!
4. (Amused) Oh ho. It seems that Hyrule’s princess has a strange power… It would be a real problem if a person like you were free to run around and get in my way later on…
5. (Amused) My my. It’s the little boy I met in the forest earlier. Playing “knight” now, are we?
Princess Zelda is an elegant, yet childish girl. SHe is very beautiful and playful and is Link's best friend. She should have a sweet voice, but also cute and mildly squeaky.
Don't expect to get another script until a later chapter. /spoiler/ Zelda is turned to stone in chapter 1
1. Link~! Link! Goodness, what happened HERE?!
2. But, today’s the day of the Picori Festival that only comes once a year! Hey, let’s go see it together!
3. (Sniffles, then begins outright crying) Why are you saying such mean things? And here I was looking forward to going to the festival with you, Link… (Continues sniffling for a little bit.)
4. (To Link) It’s too bad that you couldn’t be in the martial arts tournament this year. But I know very well that you’re strong, Link. So, take this, and keep training hard!
5. You know him, Link?
6. Who are you? Why are you doing this?!
Try and keep it like the Link in Minish cap. He's a child, so his voice should be higher pitched. (Canon sources say he's 9 in the Minish Cap)
1. (Shouting) One, two! (ad lib sound as Link hammers hot metal.) (sighs from effort)
2. Grandpa, do the Picori really exist?
3. Aah--! It’s already time for practise! Bye~
4. Hyyyyaaahh!!
5. Wha?! But I entered! Please, Sensei! I wish to test my abilities!!
6. (Grumbling to self) Damn it… Grr… Rrgh… I practised eight hours every day in preparation for this day! This is my one chance in a whole year! (Swings at a tree) Tesshin-style Kaitengiri!!
7. Who’re you?! You laughin’ at me?!
8. (Narrating) It’s been like this ever since we were kids. I always completely succumb to Princess Zelda’s charms.
9. I won’t let you lay a hand on Princess Zelda!!
10. A sword!! A real sword!! Thank you, Grandpa!! *Speaking to Zelda’s statue* I can’t forgive him… that Vaati… Wait for me, Zelda. I’ll change you back into the Zelda you used to be, without fail!!
1. That heart-shaped jewel would be great, Princess! It’s so cute! It would look great on you!
1. WINNER!! We have a winner~!! Now then, pick out something you like!
2. (still trying to show respect) Why?! You won the contest and everything… pick out something better.
3. Really--? Well, if that’s what you really want, Princess…
1. Awesome, Princess!
1. Well, well! It’s Princess Zelda! Link, you’re always on SUCH good terms with the princess, aren’t ya?
1. It’s a match!
2. Number 28, Vaati! Number 57, Max!
3. Begin!!
The minister has a bit of a squeakier voice
1. Winner Vaati, step forward!!
2. Please turn back to normal! Your highness! Is there no way to turn the princess back to normal?!
3. Then, let’s dispatch the armies!
Whoever gets the role will be playing every soldier in the series. Sound Military.
1. What?! A ruffian, eh?!
2. UUAAHH!!
3. Ex-excuse me! But we’ve been getting reports that monsters are appearing all over the country!
Master smith is Link's grandfather and one of the best weapons forgers in Hyrule.
1. Hm. It’s a good sword. I’ll bet the Picori helped us out with this one.
2. You’ll surely meet one if you believe in them. I’ve heard that only children can see them. I wonder about that… I’ve never seen anything like that.
3. Just who IS that boy?
4. According to the legend, many a monster have been sealed into that box by the sword’s power. Hence the commemoration ceremony.
5. Now see here, Link! You mustn’t be so forward!
6. Wait, Link. The roads on the way there will be dangerous. Take this with you. This is the sword we put our heart and soul into making. Fight hard for the princess!!
Swiftblade is a Sensei at the Tesshin Dojo. He's strict and diciplined.
1. All right! That’s enough practise for today--! Tomorrow is the Picori Festival’s martial arts tournament. Those participating, fight hard to ensure you don’t disgrace the name of the Tesshin Dojo!
2. Hm? Link, you’ll be an observer.
3. ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! The way of the sword is a strict one! It’s still too soon for you!!
1. Chapter one: Link and Vaati.
2. Do you all know of the Picori? The Picori are tiny, tiny creatures about the size of your thumb that live all over our world. Humans don’t notice them… but without us knowing it, they are always lending us their powers. If you’re wondering why… it’s because the Picori love humans.
3. The man clad in violet robes displayed overwhelming strength… and won the championship in the blink of an eye.
4. Master Smith is the best sword forger in all of Hyrule.
5.
King Daltus is Zelda's father and the King of Hyrule. What do you think a King should sound like?
1. Vaati, your championship will go down in the history of this glorious festival. Please accept this sword.
2. Zelda!! Oh, why did this have to happen?
3. If we had the blessed power of the holy “Picori Blade”, we might be able to break the devil’s curse, but… Vaati broke that as well. However… the Picori may be able to reforge the sword.
4. The Picori are a race that really DOES exist. This is a secret known only to the royal family. They live in Chirolia Forest.
5. Hold on, Master Smith. Link, you are Zelda’s childhood friend, so of course I can entrust this to you. Very well. Take this broken sword and show it to the Picori in Chirolia Forest… and ask them to reforge it.
I honestly can't tell if they're male or female. Just a panicked citizen.
1. Run for it!
