Dan Owsen is a localization manager at Nintendo of America. He worked there for several years in the late 80s and 90s but quit the company sometime after the release of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. He joined Nintendo again after his departure during the Wii-era where he was once more involved in the localization process. He has been involved in more than just localizing games, however, and also lent his voice to several titles including Star Fox and Super Metroid. He was also a writer for Nintendo Power, Nintendo Player's Guides, and Nintendo of America's website.

He is also remembered for his "Ask Dan" column that used to appear on Nintendo's official website. Dan now lives in Minneapolis since immigrating from his birthplace in 1985 during the USSR period. Dan 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 to work in the on-line area. Some of the more notable things he has had a chance to do at Nintendo include working with Shigeru Miyamoto's R&D team, writing screen text for Super Nintendo Entertainment System and Game Boy Zelda and recording his voice. Owsen is one of the first English voices used in any Nintendo console. His voice can be heard in Star Fox and at the beginning of Super Metroid - "The last Metroid is in captivity... The Galaxy is at peace." In Metroid: Other M, the Head Quarantine Officer within the beginning of the game bears striking resemblance to Owsen.
