Aonuma talks about Tri Force Heroes' Princess Styla voiced trailer, wanting the king to speak

GN Version 5.0

A portion of a Game Informer interview with Eiji Aonuma...

GI: Princess Styla speaks at length in an online trailer, which is odd for a Zelda princess. Were you involved in the decision or selection of giving her a voice?

Aonuma: No touch [laughs]. Nintendo Japan had nothing to do with the American marketing plan. We had no influence or involvement on that trailer at all. I do remember having a discussion though, about the Japanese trailer, which has the King Tuft speaking. I asked, “Why can’t the king speak in the American trailer?” and the people we were speaking with said, “No, no. We really think the princess is best for this,” so I said, “Well, if you insist, go ahead.”
