Nate Bihldorff (born as Nathan J. Bihldorff, November 26, 1974, USA) is the senior director of localization at the Nintendo Treehouse, a division of Nintendo of America that localizes video games for the English speaking audience. Before joining Nintendo's localization team he, like many Nintendo Treehouse employees, wrote for Nintendo Power magazine. He joined the team after Leslie Swan suggested him. His first credited work was for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time as a play tester. Since then he has worked on several games that have been critically acclaimed such as the Mario role-playing games, Animal Crossing, The Legend of Zelda franchise, Elite Beat Agents and many more. In Metroid Prime he wrote most of the scan descriptions due to Retro Studios having no permanent writers at the time. To date he has been credited in around 100 Nintendo video games.
Nathan has occasionally done voice work in Nintendo games. For example, he is the voice of the Shy Guys in the Mario games, Salvatore in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and the nerdy scientist in Metroid: Other M.
