Voice-acting is NOA's fault. They need to hire better people. Sometimes it feels like the translators are also doing the voice-acting, which comes off like a bad anime dub. Having said that, I don't think it is totally horrible nor the worst I have heard. Some voices are better than others in the game, but not all are bad. 

Zelda is the worst of the bunch.

Personally I think Zelda's voice work is ok, it's just that I think of this particular Zelda as an 16-18-year old girl rather than someone who sounds like 21-25 years old. Apparently the actress has done some other video game work such as Assassin's Creed, Suikoden, Need for Speed, Far Cry Primal, For Honor, Deus Ex Mankind Divided, and Rainbow Six.

And I don't think it's surprising that Nintendo and Co. don't hire top tier voice actors. In Smash Bros., although you have guys like Laura Bailey and Kyle Hebert, they usually use non-union voice actors(-tresses). Whether you think it's cheap or not, that's their decision when it comes to producing their games.
