So!! We know what the question is, now let's talk about it! My opinion is; I am torn between then totally screwing it up like (Excuuuuuuse me Princess), but then they could do a decent job. I guess my official take is No but that won't last long because we are entering the HD world now and they can't keep it up forever. I see maybe not the next Zelda game but the next next Zelda game it will happen regardless. What do you all think?
Should Link Get A Voice Actor!!!! Share Your Thoughts!!!!

Should a Zelda anime ever come out, I think Vic Mignogna or Todd Haberkorn would be ideal for Link as voice actors. But, video game-wise, Miyamoto has stated that Link will never have a voice. A post made by DARK MASTER pointed this out. http://zeldadungeon.net/forum/showthread.php?27225-Nintendo-Gives-Answers-to-Link-Having-a-Voice!

I don't think Link needs voice acting. I kinda think that Link can talk in the game like to the villagers, but we can't tell/hear what he's saying. Along with the hand movements and stuff.

I am very firmly with the no community and was very glad when Miyamoto said it will never be done. I wouldn't mind and would actually like to see other characters is the game have voice acting. However for me (and many other fans) Link's silence, even in text, has become as iconic as the green tunic he wears. There is no real reason Link needs to wear a green tunic but there would be outcry if he did not. These things have become part of the world we love and, while some would be ok with it, I think giving Link a voice would be a bit of a slap in the face to all those that have come to cherish and love the icon of the green clad, silent hero with his sword.

No. Link is "the link between the player and the game", which is why he never talks. It needs to stay that way, otherwise the authenticity of it feeling like we're in the adventure would be obliterated.
And I have a question. Why is this poll multiple choice?

Because I'm kind of new! However I hope other characters get Voice actors and Link remains silent like in The Elder Scrolls. I hope they keep him silent, but I'm worried that the further we get into gaming the closer that horrid day comes.

Voice-acting in Zelda nah. I'm not for it. It just wouldn't be the same and besides I like using my own voice for the characters.
No Link doesn't need to talk. He is meant to be an avatar for the player. Also a lot of people have their own idea on how Link should sound and giving him a voice would ruin that.
You just provided my new favorite reason to oppose voice-acting haha. That's awesome that you do your own voice acting. I definitely oppose voice-acting but to be honest I'll be skipping cutscenes anyway (assuming they let us) so it doesn't really matter for me.
