I’m sure many folks are already aware of this, but somehow, this was something I only recently discovered - so I’m sharing it here, just in case.  In Twilight Princess, Midna’s voice lines were actually recorded in English, then scrambled after the fact to be unintelligible - but in 2010, a YouTuber by the name of Inumarou went to the trouble of piecing together what a few of them (mostly) sounded like in their original English, which you can hear above.  (Link to the original video here.)  Basically, this is what Midna’s voice actually sounds like.

There are nine lines in total - three spoken when Link attempts to warp, three that are story-related, and three that “are just there for fun”:

Which one will it be? Have you made up your mind? I’ll take you there with my power!  What do you think happened to those who tried to rule with sacred magic?  I have a request… Would you find the mirror?  Don’t go running off!  I’ll be watching… I guess you AREN’T stupid!

There are an abundance of other voice clips in the game, but as of my typing this, these are the only ones that have been unscrambled.  I’d love to hear more one day - in particular what little she says while in her true form.
