I think zelda fans being so opposed to link speaking is part of why nintendo still hasn't done so, like what REAL reason is there to not have him talk other that "it'd be weird"? It's only "weird" b/c we're so used to him being mostly silent, we've already broken tradition by having him be right handed and his default cloths not be the green tunic, so why is him talking a big no no?
like I said before, it doesn't really matter to me if he does talk or not, but I think zelda fans being resistant to him talking is a bit ridiculous
I will say, not sure if botw 2 would be the right time to have him talk, maybe they can do a half step and have him only occasionally say something? something similar to Adol from the Ys series or Aeron from Pandora's Tower
Link has always meant to be what his name says, A LINK to the player, an avatar that every person playing can imagine themself as, giving him a voice would and a personality beyond silent protaganist would kinda ruin that, giving him any dialogue beyond the options we get would do so too as some people might imagine him to be a sarcastic bugger or someone that is desperate to please others, it'd be like having a DnD character you've created being able to talk and have it's own idea.
Yes.
This idea that a player is incapable of relating to a character that speaks has always been nonsense. The protagonists of Mass Effect, Deus Ex, and Fallout (to name a few) have consistent character voice that is more compelling than anything the Zelda series offers.
over the years, each zelda game has Link become more and more into his own character, and like I said before, it's not me that's in smash bros, it's LINK, from TP onwards they have the default name be "Link" instead of having it be completely blank, and hell breath of the wild just cements him being only called Link and nothing else, and frankly the whole avatar reason to me just feels outdated
Nintendo's always been great with voice acting.
I... I don't think he should speak, but it's not like if he did speak it would be that bad. I think if he is going to have spoken dialogue, it should be about as much as Mario has. The occasional voice line here and there. Nintendo's always been great with voice acting. I doubt having Link speak actual words would be terrible or anything.
Requirement? Wait... are you telling me there are people who think Ganon has a soft G?Nintendo really isn't that good at voice acting only got to see the abysmal voice acting for zelda in BOTW to see that. That and the stupid requirement for hard G's on Calamity Ganon
Yeah, pretty good, eh?
Requirement? Wait... are you telling me there are people who think Ganon has a soft G?
Yet another voice that Nintendo's arrogant ass ears failed to listen toHopefully he will, if it's not in botw 2 it better be in the game after
