" 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.
