The Legend of Zelda series always had simple but engaging and heartfelt stories. This is also the case with Tears of the Kingdom, the latest entry in the Zelda franchise. While the story itself is quite good, a big portion of that quality is because of the amazing job the voice actors did. It is good to know who is behind some of the most important characters in the game, like Ganondorf or Zelda. If you want to know who is the voice actor of Rauru in Tears of the Kingdom, then you’ve come to the right place.

King Rauru is one of the key characters in Tears of the Kingdom and the events that unfolds in the game. He is also known as the Founding King or The First King of Hyrule. This amazing character is voiced by Chris Hackney who also appeared in Octopath Traveler II which was released in 2023 as well.
Hackney has mostly worked on Japanese games and provided the voice-over for the English version of the game. Apart from TotK and Octopath Traveler II, he also appeared in Fire Emblem: Engage as the voice actor for Dimitri. He also did some additional voices for Final Fantasy VII Remake and Horizon Forbidden West.
Hackney’s anime career is much more impressive. He did the voice of Haruta Shigemo in the English version of Jujutsu Kaisen and the Bartender in Attack on Titan. The most recent anime he appeared in was Vinland Saga which provided the English voice-over for Bug-Eys, Bui, and Hakon.

Tears of the Kingdom is available for Nintendo Switch.
