I think Bowie is about Zero's age by that game if he is voiced by him, right? Well, I guess that means we'll suddenly start hearing a combination of Jareth, Emperor Mateus of Palamecia and Albert Wesker from Zero (yes, I know the latter two weren't actually voiced by Bowie [being voiced by Christopher Corey Smith and D.C. Douglas, respectively], but their voices were certainly modeled after him, at least in part in the case of Wesker).

Zero's 75 in TPP, David Bowie is 68 now. And he doesn't have the voice of a 68 year old man! Zero is like a centenarian in MGS4 and was running projects to fight the clock, the only reason he lived that long and also the reason he had pipes coming out of every orifice, I imagine he was maintaining his youth with said projects for a good while and looked fresh in the 80's then his age hit him like a brick and he was put in the chair.
