Now that I think about it, giving Zelda and Ganondorf a voice would be pretty cool. If they implement speech for the other characters it would be stupid to leave them out.

The only thing that I want to stay with Ganondorf is his famous evil laughter and Zelda's gasps.

Thats why I want there to be voice acting. I get tired of hearing gasps, grunts, and yells all the time by charecters.

I'd like to be able to look at the pretty cutscenes, instead of looking at the text bubble all the time. There could be stuff happening while people are talking. They do that now with the text and it just get's annoying, either look at the people or look at the text. I'd rather look and listen to the people.

They just have to get good voices, they could ruin the whole game if it's not done right. Link should probably still keep quiet, though what someone said about him saying stuff like yes and no would be alright. Zelda and Ganondorf need voices, as do any other even slightly important characters.

But, everyone won't like voice acting, so I'll say what I've said before; they should make it optional. Give the choice of only voice acting, only text bubbles, or both. And we could all be happy.

I've always wondered what Ganon and Zelda would sound like. It would be cool to hear them with voices.

keep it the way it is

Zelda has the same problem as Fire Emblem. They both have long cutscenes that force you to read a million text boxes.

You are right! I think we don't want to read some stupid text box, we want to see the animations!

Yeah, I want to focus on the cutscenes, not the text box.

I'd like some voice acting, NPCs, Link, whatever. Just have people talk.

This isn't the 90s.

i'm all for voice acting, only:

1: they wouldn't give link a voice anyway, because it's far too risky. they'd almost be scared to voice him.
2: they definitely can't have cliché 'evil bad guy voice' for ganon. i will literally shudder if they do that to anyone.

I'll say this again: This is not the ****ing 90s. Mute main characters are outdated.

I'm sorry if you Zelda fanboys are going to get butthurt because "LINK DOESN'T TALK ITS ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THAT" Zelda is a series that could really benefit from a better storyline, and having Link talk and interact with the people around him would only help.

Come on, Nintendo, time to get with the times.

i'm personally fine if link speaks though, just everyone would complain. but i would still cringe if ganon was like

"MUAHAHA I'M EVIL, FEEL MY TRIFORIC RAGE *fufufufu*"

Look at Jak and Daxter (then again, he's much more badass when he begins to talk). I agree with you that the protagonist should speak -- especially in this day and age of gaming where there's fresh VA talent just waiting to be found.

However, if Nintendo decided to make just Link a mute, I'd want them to take a more interactive RPG approach that allows Link to interact with the characters and initiate all sorts of dialogue, but are also able to retain his vocal muteness (e.g. main characters in Oblivion). Again, I'd still prefer Link actually speak. But if push comes to shove, this is how I'd want Nintendo to approach Link's lack of vocals.

lol i guess, whatever then

It all feels outdated to me. The charecters should talk.
