It still had people providing grunts, gasps, screams, etc.

If Link's "hya" and such is what you mean, unlikely any of the source material will be reused due to how low quality it is by today's standards.

And I wouldn't want them to reuse any of the old samples either, unless they upscale and tune the crap out of every one and the sound director ensures that they are of the highest quality with no artifacts. Even uncompressed audio from 30 years ago will be poor quality by modern standards.

I've been playing Pokemon Violet over the past month and a half, and while I can spend an hour complaining about the technical (de)merits of that game, one thing GameFreak got right was finally giving many of the older Pokemon quality audio samples in their cries. It was so jarring hearing Gen 1 and 2 Pokemon with crunchy Game Boy-quality cries next to modern ones that sounded like they belonged on that hardware.
