Why The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is getting voice acting and sci-fi elements

Zelda’s producer wants to touch players’ hearts and surprise them, but didn't want the relationship between gamers and Link to be lost if he had a voice they did not agree with.

" but didn't want the relationship between gamers and Link to be lost if he had a voice they did not agree with. "

So just like I said in another article; no VA for Link was a good choice because, even if the voice was good, it might not match how people imagined Link to sound in their minds, which would create a disconnect and would make the experience a lesser one for them.
They did good by not forcing VA.
The whole "It's *current year*, follow this standard!" trope BS needs to die. Not everything that's common needs to be followed to make a game better.

I watched the Super Mario show growing up, and I thought they nailed the voices for the animated Legend of Zelda series.

Ditto for me on both, but I don't think the voice that became infamous for "Ex-cuuuuuse me, Princess!" would go over well as a VA for Link in Breath of the Wild.XD
