Voice Actor
Kayden is the assistant and husband to Kodah, who runs the Seabed Inn in Zora’s Domain. He’s a gentle soul, happy to be married and helping his wife with her aspirations of raising the Seabed Inn’s popularity amongst Hylians to get more business. While he isn’t quiet by any means, he’s definitely not as boisterous as his wife. He is certainly the side character to her main character, so to speak.
Kayden doesn’t have a particular voice, nor any special sound effects in game. He is up for interpretation based on his description. I personally see him as a softer voiced, proper gentleman, though without the haughtiness. He has a slight british accent since he’s a hundred years old and from pre-calamity era, but he is younger and of the newer generation, so the accent doesn’t need to be very prevalent.
Line 1: *This is the context. Find the actual lines below*
(This is a moment Kayden and his wife are having a moment together, preparing the Inn for the night. Kayden, being the great husband he is, offers to help out as best he can.)
Line 2: *This is the context. Find the actual lines below.*
(This is a moment Kayden assures his wife that she is doing a wonderful job running the inn, and that one day, their popularity will surge. He’s being supportive, but not overly so. Kodah is a very strong and confident woman. She knows all of this, so it can be played as more of a “reminder” to his wife rather than simply soft encouragement.)
Line 3: *This is the context. Find the actual lines below.*
(In this, Kayden told Prince Sidon about Zelda’s injury, a situation that's nerve wracking for everyone involved. Though Link requested he didn’t, he felt it was his duty to inform the Zora royalty of what happened. He feels guilty, but has no regrets. He is a proud Zora, even if he feels terrible for Link. He is still sure Link will understand, he doesn’t expect Link to get mad at him.)
Line 1: (Loving Husband. Caring. Gentle.) || Are you sure you’ll be able to handle the nightshift yourself? If that’s the case, then when I finish this, I’ll join our daughter in the sleeping pools. Let me at least do this for you. I may not have inherited the inn like you have, but as your husband, I hold just as much responsibility over it as you do.
Line 2: (Supportive. Encouraging. Still firm. Patience) || Patience, Kodah. Hylian’s probably still think we have heavy rainfall, and today isn’t proving them wrong. We’ve gotten a few Hylian visitors these past few months, so things are changing, even if slowly. One day this Seabed Inn will be just as popular as it was before the Great Calamity, with Hylians bustling in and out. Just you wait and see. Your hard work will pay off.
Line 3: (Slightly guilty. Professional. Slightly apologetic.) || Forgive me, Link. Once I heard from my wife that the Hylian princess was among us, it didn’t feel right to keep the prince or the king uninformed. Especially considering her current condition. As a proud Zora of the domain, it was my duty to inform our Royalty of such matters. I hope you can bring yourself to forgive me.
