The Legend of Zelda Fanfic Winner Narration Project

The Legend of Zelda Fanfic Winner Narration Project

Project Overview

***NOTE*** Though this project is marked as unpaid, IT IS A PAID PROJECT. I do payment by word count rather than hours worked, which isn't an option to select on the site currently. But yes, you WILL BE PAID for your work!

In October of 2025, I held a Zelda fanfiction contest to gift the winner a full narration of their story on my channel, Rin's Legendarium! There ended up being two AMAZING submissions, and I just couldn't choose between them... so they BOTH won!

As a result of my indecision, this project will be the first of two!

Congratulations to Tetra for her incredible story and being the first to experience the magic of narration!

Here is a synopsis of her story:

The malice of Twilight and a crazed agent of darkness. The power of a Goddess, and the expectations of royalty. Join Zelda for this coming of age story to examine the trials and choices that shaped her into the leader capable of steering her people to safety. Culminating in the conflict of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, will the titular character find her light and save her kingdom? Or will self-doubt, the pressures of royal life, and the manipulation of a crazed king cast her as a true damsel in distress?

There are a total of FOURTEEN available voice acting roles, 8 of them female, and 6 of them male! One of them is the same character, just younger and older versions of them, so if you think you can swing both voices for those roles, please do apply for both!

I am SO EXCITED to bring Tetra's story to life! She wowed me with her storytelling, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Requirements for this project:

  1. A decent mic. Try your best to minimize background noise and use appropriate gain. The usual!

  2. Have a Discord account. In order to adequately communicate with you and all of the other voice actors that will be involved, I am requiring the selectees to be added to my Discord server in a special, private channel where we can all discuss the deets! You are only required to be there for the duration of the project, and are not obligated to stay in the server! However, I hope you do stay, since we have a lot of fun in there and there are some really cool peeps! Many of them have been voice actors for me in the past, and others are fans of the channel :)

If you have any questions about this project or clarification on what we're looking for regarding the voices, please let me know!

I'm so excited to get this rolling! LET'S DO THIS!!

-Rin xoxo

  • One week left!!

    HELLO BEAUTIFUL VOICES!!

    First off, Tetra and I would like to thank absolutely everyone for submitting their auditions to this project with so much enthusiasm! You guys are talented as heck and it's so fulfilling to see so many people interested in Zelda like we are! :) We've already gotten over 100 submissions in just over a week! That's INSANE! Thank you so much, we cannot show our gratitude enough!

    That being said, with so many auditions submitted, we are still lacking in the Telma role! So far only one person (Tetra herself!) has auditioned for Telma, and we want to see more! Even if you've already submitted, come back! Try for Telma! WE'RE BEGGING YOU!! XD Seriously though, we'd love to see more talent for her role, especially because she's so iconic!

    One more week left, guys! When the project closes, you'll likely know your fate within a day or two ;) Thank you again for showcasing your skills! You guys ROCK!!

    -Rin & Tets xoxo

  • Role update!

    We've updated Telma's role description to be more inclusive for creativity! The accent we had in mind might be a bit too obscure, so if you'd like to try for Telma's role, give us YOUR interpretation of how you think she would sound! :)

    We're LOVING all of the auditions so far!! Keep em comingggg!!

    -Rin xoxo

Young Zelda

Unpaid
Role assigned to: Tetra176

As with most of the Royal Family, young Princess Zelda has a royal British accent. There are technically TWO Zelda roles in this project since there is a time jump in the story; young Zelda (14-17 yo) to young adult Zelda (19-20 yo). If you think you can adjust your tone to match the character, but with an older voice, please apply for the young adult Zelda role as well! :) 

Voice description:
  • aristocratic british
  • female child
  • *with trepidation* "What if I let them down again? What if I'm not doing enough?"

  • *with respect* "Lord Albrecc, thank you for taking the time to meet me today. I understand that you are often busy with research."

  • *a little forlorn* "When I was younger, I read often. I was always fascinated by history and cultures different from my own. However, as I have aged my focus has had to shift, and I find I do not have the time for leisurely activities as much."

Young Adult Zelda

Role assigned to: HollyHoffmanVA

This version of Zelda is about 19 to 20 years of age, but she is the same character as young Zelda. If you think you can swing both voices, please do apply for both! As with young Zelda, young adult Zelda has a royal British accent. The princess ALSO disguises herself as Sheik sometimes, so part of this role will include lowering your pitch a bit to account for those times. The accent can stay the same, however!

Voice description:
  • female young adult
  • female adult
  • aristocratic british
  • *in Sheik's voice, informational tone* “I do not know the reason for his interest, but the markings on the map that I saw indicated that he could have been searching for something. Other areas had exes and scribbles blocking them from view.”

  • *in Zelda's voice, exasperated* "I am supposed to begin leading our country at the end of the year, after the ceremony. My mother has been encouraging me to interact with the court more; get to know the people I will be working with. She is asking some of them to court me. I have told her that I do not have time or interest in such a distraction, but she insists!"

  • *in Zelda's voice, fiery and assertive* "You will not touch me again. I will find a way to defeat you. I will restore the light!"

Queen Z. Tibersus [ty-BER-suhs] Hyrule

Unpaid
Role assigned to: LinzeyHanes

The Queen of Hyrule herself!! We don't get to meet her in Twilight Princess, unfortunately, but you'll get to meet her in this story! She has a royal British accent, and has quite the emoting range. She can flip from being comforting and motherly to strict and firm quite quickly. She is the queen after all, and must take on her obligations with grace and confidence. 

Voice description:
  • aristocratic british
  • female adult
  • *tired and frustrated* "How many times must I ask you to behave with the decorum owed to your station?"

  • *more forgiving* "My Little Bird, I know that you will rise to the occasion, when the time comes. But now, I do wish you would try a little harder to be mindful of your position. You are constantly representing Hyrule, your father, and me."

  • *motherly tone* “Oh, my dear… Come, stand under the sun’s rays. It will help to warm you better than a small bowl of food, anyhow.”

Role assigned to: Paupersservant77

Fergall, as the princess' young, protective knight, is always put together, soft spoken, and has a light British accent. He's ever faithful to the crown and loyal as they come! 

Voice description:
  • mild british
  • male adult
  • *encouraging* "I did some research on the area this week to prepare for our journey. The caldera that the Gorons live near is active, but there have been no significant eruptions in recent years. Please, try not to let the smoke make you uneasy.”

  • *with awe* “I believe what my fellow guardsman meant was that you perform your tasks with the appearance of ease, Princess. And that we are familiar with your high work ethic that allows that appearance. You never cease to impress.”

  • *with concern* "Princess, are you with us? Can you open your eyes?"

Ivern [EYE-vern]
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: Paupersservant77

Ivern, in his 40s or 50s, serves as Princess Zelda's combat trainer, and is a very important figure in her life. He is Sheikah, with a strong, firm personality. His voice is reflective of that, having the directive traits of guidance and instruction, while remaining empathetic. His accent leans generally American.  

Voice description:
  • general american
  • male adult
  • *instructional tone* “Princess, you need to learn how to balance action with contemplation. This is a skill that will serve you in both battle and policy. There is an art in knowing when it is best to pause for a breath, and when to press on.”

  • *instructional tone* “Now, try again, but slower this time. There is no race. Once you have completed the course, we will practice targeting, and finish with some stances. Agreeable?”

  • *comforting tone* "But, please try to remember all that we have saved, and all that we can work toward now. I will always be here for you, my dear, should you want to talk about anything."

Phaedra [FAY-druh] (Kaet [KAYt])

Unpaid
Role assigned to: Kokiri Theory

The Sheikah (ages range from 16-20 during the story), Phaedra (Sheikah name being Kaet), is young Zelda's sparring partner in training. She's also Zelda's very good friend and confidant. Phaedra's accent leans generally American, and she's quite a charmer, being confident and sure of herself. 

Voice description:
  • general american
  • female child
  • *contesting tone* “Ivern, a few months?! We could spar with each other now!”

  • *playful tone* "Come on, Sheik, I think he was more concerned about me hurting you. I'll go easy on you."

  • *with trepidation* "There is something coming. For your safety, I must beg you all evacuate to the inner sanctum. We will cover your retreat."

King Tibersus [ty-BER-suhs] Walthier [WALLTH-ee-air] Hyrule
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: Quantum

The king of Hyrule is unlike his wife in that he's much more approachable, calming, and softer toward Princess Zelda. Though, as king, he is still a confident ruler, strong in voice and firm in law. His accent is British, and his voice is on the deeper side, but not necessarily BOOMING. 

Voice description:
  • male adult
  • aristocratic british
  • *with hesitation* "M-my dear... have you considered any of the suitors that were presented to you last week?"

  • *with pride* "My darling Zelda, tonight marks the start of your transition to leadership in this great land that we call Hyrule."

  • *with assertiveness* "Someone bring me my sword!"

Midna
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: Tetra176

Our favorite in-game companion!!! Right?? She's your fave too, right??? :P Midna, in this story, has a similar cadence and inflection to her in-game counterpart, but her voice is not as childlike. Obviously, she'll be speaking comprehensible English words instead of garbled ones. Try to emulate her in-game voice with more of an adult tone! 

Voice description:
  • female adult
  • *playful* “Eee-hee! Look what the cat dragged in! You're corporeal, so you must be important somehow...”

  • *baiting tone* ”My people call me Midna, or they did before I lost them. Now I’m stuck here, looking like this, with a princess who won’t raise a finger to help her kingdom.”

  • *pained tone* “Please… Please tell me… How do we break… the curse on this one?”

Zant
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: Darren Manandhar

One of the most evil villains to ever grace the Zelda franchise! And he's just as evil in this story, if not MORE so. We're choosing to describe his voice as "greasy." Just the grossest, most slithering voice you can imagine. Try to emulate this with super evil undertones!

Voice description:
  • male adult
  • *angry* "You will find her and bring her back here, to me, or you will die trying. Do I make myself clear?"

  • *sneering* "I must say Princess, I had expected this meeting to come much sooner. I suppose I owe you gratitude for leaving me in peace to do with your realm as I see fit."

  • *hissing tone* "What makes you so confident, Princess? You could not stop me from claiming the lives of those closest to you, how are your people any different?"

Link (TP)

Role assigned to: WestWood64

It's our boy!!!!! Link is a hard voice to pin down for a lot of us, and for good reason. He's a silent protagonist for the most part, after all. But we imagine his voice in this story to be rather serious, but enthusiastic. Just don't go overboard! :P He has a medium pitch and a pleasant, likable tone. Do your best! :) 

Voice description:
  • male young adult
  • general american
  • *questioning* “Why would she do that? We have fought side by side for weeks now. She knows that we are stronger together.”

  • *with determination* "Together then, Princess. For Hyrule, and for Midna."

  • *enthusiastic* "Can do, your majesty. Let's go, Epona!"

Lord Albrecc [ALL-brick]

Role assigned to: Kyle "Moose" McHugh

Lord Albrecc is a potential suitor for Princess Zelda. He is a bit pretentious and haughty, but not so much that it's intolerable. He has an over the top British accent. 

Voice description:
  • male adult
  • proper british
  • *respectfully* "Of course, Your Highness, it is a great honor to spend time with you."

  • *slow and thoughtful* "I suppose that running a country, or learning to become the next monarch, must put demands on much of your time."

  • *questioningly* “How did you come by this information, in any case? You say you were in the castle? Surely, you couldn’t have gotten past the guards, or the magical shield?”

Telma

Role assigned to: Tetra176

Our favorite well-endowed bar-keep ;) She is a force to be reckoned with, and while mature when need be, she's mostly flirty and playful. We're leaving it up to you to determine her accent! Get creative with it! How do YOU imagine Telma's voice?

Voice description:
  • pennsylvanian
  • female adult
  • *flirting* “I don’t bite hard, honey… but anyway, there are some people I think you should meet back there.”

  • *firmly* “While I do admire your caution Ashei, I hope you know you can trust my judgment. I’ve known Sheik for a number of years now. She’s a dear friend of Phaedra’s, you understand?”

  • *friendly* “There’s one other who has been helping us, honey, but he isn’t here now. Cute as a button, that one. Bright blue eyes, athletic build.”

Goddess Hylia

Role assigned to: Naomi Biela

The goddess herself! In this story, Hylia is more of a human presence than goddess, even though her otherworldliness CAN come through. She has a supportive, motherly tone with a British accent. 

Voice description:
  • aristocratic british
  • female adult
  • *pleasantly* "You know me, though you may not be able to recognize it now. I am Hylia, and I have been your companion and support throughout the last few years."

  • *solemnly* "Have you so little faith in your own strength?"

  • *motherly* "You must gather your light and shine brightly. You have the potential to be one of the greatest of our line, if only you can learn how to trust yourself."

Female Narrator

Unpaid
Role assigned to: Lakaya

As this is Zelda's story, from her perspective alone, we thought it best to have the narrator possess a female presenting voice. This voice should be different enough from Zelda's voice as to be distinguishable, so if you also auditioned for the Zelda roles, try and make that distinction :) 

Voice description:
  • female adult
  • general american
  • The tunnel seemed to stretch on forever. Looking over her shoulder, Zelda wasn't able to see the light of the opening any longer, but that didn't mean they were nearing the other side yet. This was her least favorite part of the journey. She sighed again, tilting her head and giving her mother a bored look.

  • A pair of footsteps broke the relative silence of Zelda’s retreat, and she glanced over to find her favorite guardsmen bringing water and a parasol. Fergall dipped his chin and Phaedra smirked as they reached her, the former holding the parasol high enough to block the sun without making her feel too sheltered.

  • Sheik took a hesitant step forward before rushing into the room. She dove under the table, the sound of shouting echoing into the chamber from the hallway behind her and jolting her into action. She recovered quickly and crouched over her dominant leg, the other stretched out for balance. Sheik held a small throwing knife in each hand. A small part of her mind registered how naturally the knives had appeared in her hands and glowed with pride, but she pushed the bright joy down for the moment. She needed to focus.
