 Link, the protagonist of Nintendos Legend of Zelda series and the  special character exclusive to the Nintendo Gamecube version, is  known for never actually speaking in the Zelda games. Thus, all of  his "dialogue" in Soul Calibur II is simply a collection of yells  and other exhertion sounds performed by Nobuyuki Hiyama, who also  provided the Japanese voices for Nightmare and Yoshimitsu. His voice  work for Link is used in both the Japanese and English voice  collections.
