Link's voice actor...

For the new Zelda on the Wii should Link's voice actor be Nobuyuki Hiyama the one who voice OoT/FD Link ooor Akira Sasanuma the one who voiced TP Link.

I mean before TP came out his voice was the same as OoT Link's, but they changed it near the last stages of development. So, now that we're all used to his voice from TP, will they switch back...especially if this is the return of OoT Link.

Oh, and the other possiblity, another voice actor.

Re: Link's voice actor...

Akira Sasanuma.
Sasanuma's voice acting would work better in the maturity aspect seeing as how OoT Link didn't sound as mature as TP Link and if ZWii Link is more mature than TP Link, then Sasanuma would be the better choice.

Re: Link's voice actor...

Nobuyuki Hiyama is better because he sounds more like a teenager/young adult, which is exactly what Link is. When I first played TP, I was like "What!? What is this? This isn't Link! This sounds like a guy who has phlegm stuck in his throat!"

Yeah but OoT Link's voice was more distinct. Just pops out so much, you have to love it. TP Link sounded more realistic, but not as forceful. D=

This.




Seriously though, if this is a brand new Link, then he should have a brand new voice. A japanese voice actor, preferably.


Unless if the next Zelda has actual voice acting... Then they'd HAVE to use an english voice actor... HOPEFULLY NOT an American one. Maybe someone with a authentic British/Scottish/Irish accent or something... yeah, that could work. (Don't know why, but I've always pictured Link having one of those accents, since Zelda does generally take place in a medieval fantasy setting and all.)

Re: Link's voice actor...

I must say, Link seems to be the kind of guy who would have a Jamaican accent.

Just ponder this for a moment.

Not in the upcoming game, according to Shiggy.

I guess it would depend on who the new Link is. If it is the HoT (WANTS) then I definately want a voice that would fit him. But if not the HoT, then I definately prefer the TP voice work.

Out of curiosity, why would an American VA be so bad? Do Japanese people sound THAT different when grunting?

Not to mention there's always the chance that the voice work could be localized, like it was for Brawl. Have you heard Meta Knight's voice in the Japanese version? I'll take the American version any day of the week.

Re: Link's voice actor...

I'd prefer Akira Sasanuma's voice, though a bit harsher and grittier.

I said "teenager/young adult". "Older than ever" can, at most, mean 25, which is still a young adult. I can't see Nintendo making a game where Link is older than that.

Meh, I was a little quote-happy there. Sorry about that, I missed the Young adult bit.

Looking in my old Psychology textbook, young adult is anywhere between 20-40... according to Erik Erikson

It's okay.

Isn't 40 considered middle-aged though?

Since when do people jump from being young adults to old people?

40-65 is middle-aged
65 onward is considered mature.

Like I said, all according to Erikson.
