I was saying with everybody else talking and the Protagonist silent.

Don't jump into conclusions, the Modern Warfare story mode was one of my favorites.

Seriously Zelda will not be ruined if it doesn't have voice acting, nor will it be ruined if it does. I don't see why this has to be such a heated issue for people.

The presence of voice acting requires a change to the writing approach in a video game. The sort of dialogue typically found in the Zelda series works very well for the text-only approach, but it would sound awkward and forced if voice-acted. If they want to maintain the same writing style, I've no problem with them eschewing voice acting. If they want to use voice acting, which I'm fine with, they'll have to take that into consideration while writing the dialogue. I think this is one of the reasons the gibberish approach interests Aonuma, because they could technically have everyone "speaking" without having to factor it into the writing.

Honestly, if ever there was a time for them to consider voice acting, this is it. The game is already huge, might as well go big or go home. And I do want to have voice acting in a modern Zelda game, just to see how it feels. I might like it, I might not.

i asked you a question, you answer it. pretty straight forward huh?

there was no conclusions in my post. just question

please dont jump into conclusions.

Well, sure, Pandora's Tower was a lesser known title but so was Xenoblade and it had better VA than Pandora's tower. My point was that Nintendo's record isn't exactly smooth when it comes to VA. Yes, if it doesn't have VA, the sales are still fucked but it will be a less of a hit to their profits cause VA = extra work = extra money for something that may or may not have a good return on investment. And I doubt that putting VA in Zelda will attract anyone cause they would have to buy the wiiU first and there have been countless threads as to why people don't want to buy one regardless of what Nintendo does. Nintendo's best bet is to do what they have been doing which makes the fans happy and instead, leave something like VA to their next gen Zelda game. And again, its just the whole, is good enough for them good enough for us or do we want something better?

And I am pretty sure the reason that people are complaining about Zelda's presentation is cause they don't like the cartoony look it has rather than it having VA. They prefer realism and other hurr durr stuff. Heck, some of the even want multiplayer in a Zelda game so catering to those people is like catering to people that really wont buy the franchise no matter what. Again, Capcom and other companies tried to do the same like trying to cater to the Cod crowd and look at what happened to RE. And heck, Zelda U is a fully open world game and I am sure once it gets released, provided the game is excellent, the industry will take notice no matter what.

And VA isn't really the main thing that seperates those games from Zelda nor should Zelda try to compete with them in the wiiU by taking multiple risks like a big open world as well as VA. Leave the VA for the future and focus on gameplay for now. There is no reason to waste time and money on trying to implement VA when the sales at the end will be less anyway cause they are just putting in things that most fan's wont care about until they put it in and the result will be minimal gain.

Anyway, I think we talked enough and we will probably keep on going back and forth in the matter but I dont see either of us going anywhere with this. Ironically, if you look at my first post, I said that I wouldn't mind having VA if Link doesn't talk loll but I wouldn't mind either ways. The only reason we are even having this conversation is cause I replied to an user and another user replied to me whom I replied to and u replied to me which is pretty ehh. But yea, I got stuff to do so don't expect a reply after this.

I don't think that Zelda's writing style would have to change much at all, and most dramatic and memorable scenes in Zelda games could have been untouched completely and have worked exceptionally as a script for voice actors.
