Over the weekend a streamer finally beat Breath of the Wild, not realizing that the voice actor of her favorite character had been watching the whole time.
Haley Ojedi, who streams and makes gaming videos on her YouTube channel, didnât think her subscribers would even be interested in her streaming the ending to Breath of the Wild, but after stumbling into the final boss, she decided to go live anyway. As she was fighting Calamity Ganon, her friend decided to tweet at Sean Chiplock, who voices Revali, Haleyâs favorite character in the game. Ojediâs friend invited Chiplock to watch the stream, and, to everyoneâs surprise, he did.
âI had been so consumed in the fight with Calamity Ganon that I didnât even notice Sean had started to make comments in the live chat,â Ojedi told Kotaku. âIt wasnât until the end credits started rolling that Sean started to say who he was.â
In the YouTube stream, when Ojedi realizes that Chiplock is actually in her chat, she puts her hand over her mouth and screams, âOh my god!â She looks ecstatic, and she described the moment to Kotaku as âinsane.â
But it didnât stop there. Chiplock not only recorded an adorable message in character as Revali, but topped off Ojediâs ongoing donation drive to go to E3. âWow did I start crying,â Ojedi said, âbecause this celebrity made my dream of going to E3 a reality, a dream Iâve had with my dad since I was little and first started watching it with him.â
âBreath of the Wild has become much more than a game now,â Ojedi said. âNot very many people get to say that they finished one of their favorite games of all time with the voice actor of their favorite character watching them fight Ganon until the end. I am so thankful to Sean Chiplock for being so kind when he definitely didnât have to be.â
