"In addition, we ask for your thoughts on voice acting in a Zelda game. Should everyone talk? Should everyone except Link talk? Should nobody talk?" -- Nintendo Enthusiast.

really depends. Maybe they should release a trailer with voice acting and see how the audience responds? This means more money, though.

I think people would start to accept it then, but they need to have really good voice actors, not cheesy English ones.

I think they have to to be honest, it's the only way to push Zelda forward and push Zeldas and Links relationship further.

Who says they have to speak a ton, what about if they combine English with the odd Hyrulian word here and there to make it out that they are speaking their language but to us where hearing them in English.

link2Dpast3833d ago

Damnn fine idea. Let them talk hyrulian and we read subtitles. I remember in lord of the rings they had the language that the elves spoke I thought that wss pretty good. The Legend of Zelda is a cultural phenomenon so why not let it show more of the culture.

TheMzingGamer3833d ago

Why the dislikes, you have a good point. The reason voice acting wasn't taken too well with other Nintendo titles is because the voice actors sucked. I guess if we got a team, it could work well. Just as long as Link stays silent, all is well.

i don't want it to happened it wouldn't be Zelda if

zeal0us3834d ago (Edited 3834d ago )

Honestly at this point in time it would seem weird to add a voice to Links.

If they do some to most hardcore Zelda fans probably won't like it.

Im 50/50 on that but it seems really risky among the fans who may be totally against it.

izumo_lee3834d ago

They could always leave Link as the 'silent' protagonist while everyone else be voiced. Or they could just hire Troy Baker to come up with a voice for Link since he is in everything nowadays.

Still it will be a touchy subject whether to add voices to a Zelda game after all these years.

Honestly I really changed my mind on Fi with the remaster because they didn't make her interrupt your gameplay every 5 seconds, that drastically changed my views on her

Inverno71d ago

Technically she's in ToTK but obviously can't take any other form than the sword she was made into. Also the companion feature has been done plenty of times in Zelda, I don't think it'll add anything new. If anything should be brought back it should be the Minish.

Amen! A good, tight, Zelda game with a focus on dungeons and puzzles. Let people have the new style Zelda if you gotta, but let us have the OoT style games too. That's not without precedent either, the handheld 2D Zelda's in the style of A Link to the Past etc have coexisted alongside the 3D Zelda's before

FinalFantasyFanatic102d ago

As much as I like BoTW, TotK, I need my traditional Zelda games as well, I could not endlessly play the open world Zelda games, plus it's harder to keep those fresher than the traditional games.

Eidolon102d ago (Edited 102d ago )

BotW was just as fresh to the franchise as OoT was. TokT was great but the next LoZ would have to move from that formula to be fresh again. There's only so much they can do with the hardware. I think they focused too much on making the world big instead impactful. I felt the world was sort of empty and repetitive in TotK, sure there was a lot to do but no more difference a Ubisoft game..

anast102d ago

I wouldn't worry too much. Nintendo knows what they are doing.

Ristul102d ago

Wind Waker had a perfect balance of open world and a cool, well hand-crafted design. Maybe try to keep the open world but put in effort to make more memorable story driven quests and locations.

I like it would also be cool if some created Dragon Caesar in the game I would love to watch the two going at it.
