Link, Talk?

[Lil'Link]

Well, I think I'v seen this poll done before, but I'v never seen the results myself, and I think some other people havnt either. please vote weather or not you want link to talk and in what format. you see, link kinda already talked in skyward sword, when you reply to questions, so "You talk" is on the poll.... if you want, post a comment on what you picked and why. PLEASE don't be hard on pleople just becouse you dont agree, and no trolling to begin with... Thanks for voicing your opinions, ~Lil'link

I chose you talk, but not with the use of a microphone. Instead I think we should still talk, but with choices. I look foward to what other people believe.

I don't believe that Link should talk in any form that way the player can make up whatever they want. And I believe the reason Link doesn't talk is because Miyamoto wanted the charcter "Link" to be "linked" to each player hence his name.

Well I actually like it the way it is now. I mean Link is kinda mysterious in his own way because he talks but we don't hear his voice other then just a few screams or Come on like in WW. I am used to it and I kinda love it. I also love the different options the player has to make Link answer. It makes it even more fun.

He should have text options when asked a question, but NOTHING ELSE. If link talked out loud on his own that would ruin the game for me.

I don't really mind what they do, but I know that he should not have large amounts of spoken dialogue because it would upset quite a few people. If he spoke it should be a line every now and again when something important happens, like the master chief in halo.

I liked the Skyward sword thing, but it wasn't utilized as often as I would have liked, and it never had the perfect answer.
For instance. "Go!" or "Protect Zelda!" Answer: "SCREW YOU, I'M OUTTA HERE!"

Zelda characters should never have voice actors. Look at Zelda CD-i for reasons why.

I think they way they're doing it now is perfect. Some voice acting, but no words (grunts, whines, etc), with the occasional text option for Link. Introducing voice acting may just ruin the series for me. I like the silent protagonist angle. Don't even get me started on how the wrong personality and voice acting for the main character ruined a game for me (*cough*Final Fantasy X*cough*).

 

[Mariley]

Voice acting could be fantastic in the Zelda series if done well, I think too many people are afraid of change and don't want it because of other poor examples of it. Honestly I think it's fighting the inevitable, like all the people who didn't want films to have sound when that started happening. Zelda is one of the last major franchises I can think of that doesn't have any VO.

I prefer just facial expressions and gestures. gives the player the chance To imagine Link any way they want.

Link, talk? No, just no.

 

[Koosholts]

I'm generally against voice acting for the character your playing as. I lost a sence of connection I have with the game. The only time this has happened and I actually enjoyed it was in Mass Effect, but that's only because I think the voice acting in general was well executed.

I'm in favor of voice acting in Zelda, but the main character being silent. Skyrim is a perfect example of the type of voice acting I want done in Zelda.

 

[LegendOfUmbreon]

Is it just me, but do none of Nintendo's best game characters talk?

If we could talk for Link, that could potentially be interesting!
Although I do prefer it now where Link only displays his emotions and actions throughout the storyline and gameplay.
