Vaati is a Minish that once lived in the Minish Realm as Ezlo’s apprentice. Eventually, he became fascinated with the evil in the hearts of men, and learned the legends of the Picori Blade and the Light Force: a source of unlimited magic power. When Ezlo created a magical cap that could grant its wearer’s wish, Vaati put it on without permission and transformed into a sorcerer, acquiring incredible power and cursing Ezlo, turning him into a cap himself before setting out on his search for the Light Force.

Vaati is an ambitious, cunning, and mocking trickster; one who manipulates others from the shadows, such as when he impersonated King Daltus to keep Hyrule under his control while waiting for Link to uncover the truth of the Light Force’s resting place.

Vaati, along with Link and Ezlo, is to me, the star of the show in this project. I want his voice actor to show overwhelming confidence and cynicism in his lines, while also being able to deliver the feeling of his lust for power and dread when he transforms. One example that comes to mind is Griffin Burns’s performance as Julius in Fire Emblem: Heroes.

I DO NOT WANT YOU TO MATCH HOS VOICE.

What I want you to see in this video is Julius’s lust for power and arrogance, which should be pretty similar to Vaati, with the exception that Vaati is far from being a masochist (at least not nearly as much as Julius).

Also, I’d appreciate it if you’d also audition for Vaati’s Minish Form!
