My interpretation of him in that was very inspired by Bill the Butcher from Gangs of New York. And in this particular story, Ganondorf was one of the four major “mafia dons” of the Mushroom Kingdom.

Nintendo universe a live-action, film noir crime drama vibe. I was deep even back then.Īnd so, as the years went on, getting to make this web series I did ten years ago, it was very much a satirical take on the Smash Bros. I ate the Nintendo cereal when I was a kid. When I was a kid, I used to play the sidescroller sequel and enjoyed it even though it was… you know, a “debated divergence” from the series’ themes and style from the first one. Played the original when I got my first Nintendo. It doesn’t make any sense! Technically, I guess I’m reprising the role.

This game, this is one of those games that me and my wife played together so we’re both like - for Breath of the Wild at least - we were both deeply steeped in from, just our own separate fandoms colliding, and then being able to do this together. It always feels special when you get a little sneak peek at things a month or two in advance. I got to demo a little bit, very little bit, like first couple hours the game, and it’s very, very cool.

And this is just another one of those… probably like one of the wildest ones, both just the anticipation of wanting to play the game and eagerly awaiting the arrival of the box on my doorstep for my preorder, but also just getting to hear the reactions of people who get to enjoy the story. You know, I’ve been doing voiceover for quite a bit of time, and my love of voiceover came from my love of games growing up anyway, so getting to be a part of any franchise that means a lot to me is ever a strange experience. What has the lead up to this game’s launch been like for you?Įxtremely wild. Ahead of the game’s release, Rolling Stone sat down with the actor to discuss the origins of the casting, his approach to the role, and his reaction to the “reaction” online.
