Anyone think Link is better talking or just plain classic mute?

So, in every single Zelda game, Link has never even said a word WE, the gamers could hear, meanwhile other characters could
So, what i'm getting at is:
Would you like Link to have a voice or at least speak in any new Zelda game?

If this thread is in the wrong forum skin, can someone move it?

Re: Anyone think Link is better talking or just plain classic mute?

But no one speaks in a Zelda game, we just see their text bubbles

Nah, I think it'd be weird to hear him speaking. I like to hear him talking with the special voice I have for him in my head

Re: Anyone think Link is better talking or just plain classic mute?

I would like to, I guess. Why not? It might ruin the games a little but still..

Re: Anyone think Link is better talking or just plain classic mute?

This is a very vague question as we have nothing to base it on, link has a seemingly normal voice from the little action remarks he makes, and I think that scripting his words might be good, but to actually have voice acting would be good if and only if the actors chosen were very talented and sounded like the character.

No way, Nintendo would get a crappy voice actor. Remember what happen last time? "Excuse me Princess!" is what happened.

Zelda Comic - Archives

I definatly don't think he should talk. none of the nintendo protagonists ever really talk.

That was NOT done by Nintendo, nor was it even for a Nintendo console.

Having said that, it's true that voice acting would only work if done well. And I do think it could work--it's just that it risks seriously degrading the game if done poorly.

Re: Anyone think Link is better talking or just plain classic mute?

Uh, no thank you.
I don't really care if they make other npc's talk, but just not Link. Not only would it ruin his character, but it would bring back memories of the cartoon that make me want to kill myself. I like imagining what he would sound like... But i don't want to hear him.

I voted no.............BUT if Link was to have a voice Nintendo should have the whole world vote on who's voice is the perfect candidate.....kinda like what they did to mario

Re: Anyone think Link is better talking or just plain classic mute?

I didn't vote because there are good and bad to both sides. I'm not so sure it would fit with Zelda/Link if they did this. Plus you always have the chance with a crappy English (not all of them are bad but...) voice actor doing his voice. So IF they ever decide to do it, they should just leave it in Japanese or have him speak rubbish like Midna. But I'm not so sure it would be right...I like it how it is now, but I wouldn't like boycott (sp?) Zelda if they did give him a voice.

Re: Anyone think Link is better talking or just plain classic mute?

Just my opinion, but I think it would give Link personality for him to be able to talk. You can take that as you will, whether you want Link to have personality or no, but I personally would enjoy him to have more of a mind of his own. I think that TP went in the right direction as far as giving Link more of a mind, what with him showing some sort of emotion towards Colin and Midna, for instance.

I agree, the Zelda cartoons were not made by Nintendo. I felt like they had a "Scooby-Doo" feel to them. I think that the Hanna-Barbara company made them; also, one of the cast members had the last name of "Hanna". Do with that information what you will.

Wind Waker Link spoke. Two whole words in fact - "Come on!"

Re: Anyone think Link is better talking or just plain classic mute?

Yes he said 'Come on' indeed and with such little phrases I'm not having any difficulties, but as said before in the cartoon that was released Link had a terrible (supposing American English, no offense towards the Americans among us) accent. So if they'd give Link a voice it should be in Japanese or otherwise a Japanese person who's talking English. Although I've voted that I really wouldn't like to see Link talking in any way, it could be interesting. But it needs to get done properly will it be enjoyable to hear.

Greetz, CaLu.

I had to laugh when I saw that... Such a contrast with the "real" Link.

Actually, that may work in Nintendo's favour--because it will make anything Nintendo does look so much better.

I wouldn't like to hear it, it would most likely ruin the game for me. Katch said it best:

Re: Anyone think Link is better talking or just plain classic mute?

TWW Link said "C'mon!" and "Yay!" but I want to hear Link say more little phrases like that, plus dialogue boxes. Kind of like what they had done with characters in TP. Falbi said "Hi!" just when his dialogue box started, for example. Link could say little phrases like that too, but not necessarily before his dialogue boxes began. If that were to be the case, though, I'd make it something like Link saying "Hey!" or something and then his dialogue box starting.

I'm sure Nintendo could make all this come out great if they really tried.

Re: Anyone think Link is better talking or just plain classic mute?

No actuall voice over, but as someone pointed out, all characters in Zelda use speech bubbles, so that would be just fine with me. Especially if you got to choose between a couple of options on what you want to say, wouldn't that be COOL!

Heh heh, excuse me, princess.
