The original role and the remake are separate credits

The N64 game uses vocal reactions rather than the remake’s spoken cutscenes. Zelda Wiki and its Fandom predecessor list Jun Mizusawa for both N64 and Ocarina of Time 3D. They also associate her with Zelda in the older game. Those pages share editorial history, so they count as one publisher group rather than two independent confirmations.

Anne Yatco and the multilingual remake cast

The English Anne Yatco credit appears on Zelda Dungeon, Behind The Voice Actors, and Nintendo Everything’s cast list published on 4 November 2026. The latter also supplies the Japanese and localized names in the table. A language list on a store page cannot establish a performer’s name; the rows therefore distinguish the English cross-check from the single published cast list.

How to read the age-specific rows

Some localizations separately name young and adult Ruto. The table preserves those labels instead of assigning one actor to both ages. The Italian list names Young Ruto without supplying a separate adult credit, so that row keeps the narrower wording. The language labels are the cast article’s labels.

Hyrule Warriors

Zelda Wiki lists Ikumi Nakagami for the spin-off. This is separate from both the original adventure and the English remake performance. Zelda Dungeon confirms that Ruto is a playable warrior, but its current Ruto page does not independently name Nakagami. The older claim of two independent actor sources has been reduced accordingly.
