Owsen started at NOA in 1989. He started in Consumer Service during the days of the
Nintendo Entertainment System, and has since moved from department to department, first going to Publications, then to Product Development, then back to Publications as the
on-line manager. He has worked with
Shigeru Miyamoto's R&D team, writing screen texts for
Legend of Zelda titles
A Link to the Past, ''
Link's Awakening and Ocarina of Time. Owsen is one of the first English-language voices used in any Nintendo console, as his voice can be heard at the beginning of Super Metroid'' – "The last
Metroid is in captivity... the galaxy is at peace." Owsen had translated around 10 percent of the script of
EarthBound, including some of the game's "most iconic phrases", before handing over the project to
Marcus Lindblom and moving on to a different project. ==Credited games==
