I seriously hope there's a volume option for the voice acting in BotW. I'm real old school and I dislike the idea of Legend of Zelda having voice acting and becoming more like too many other video games.

I like reading text. It feels like I'm reading a book and it fits with the name of the franchise: LEGEND of Zelda. The word 'legend' for me conjures up thoughts of something that happened long ago and all we have to remind us of these events is the recordings of scribes long ago. And as much as I love the E3 2016 trailer for the game, I feel something is lost when the line "Open your eyes" is read out as opposed to just having the text popping up across the screen. I feel the text alone would have come across as more mysterious: "Who's talking? Could it be an ally or villain? Male or female? Human, beast, or spirit?"

Remember the opening to Wind Waker? It was fantastic!

No VA necessary, just let the words ring out in your mind as the soundtrack and pictures provide a backdrop!

Not to say I don't want VA, I think for whoever wants it, they can put the volume up if they please. Having options is nice but I hope it's very limited.

Dunno, what do you guys think?

I hope at a minimum, it is dual audio

I would personally prefer VA, for example in Twilight Princess when they were speaking it felt a little awkward that their mouths were moving but nothing was coming out

But for the sake of preference no harm in including an option.

I just want to mute voices altogether, haha!

Well when it comes to something I love, of course I'm afraid of change! Who wouldn't be?

Like I said though, if people want it, it should be optional. There's the key word: OPTIONAL. YOU get to choose what YOU want. I want no VA whatsoever.

Same. I can live with voice acting...but forcing us to listen to dubs would be a definite dissapointment. Not a deal breaker for sure, but based on what I've heard so far, the quality of the Japanese voice acting sounded miles better than the English dub.

If there is no opinon for the original JP voice acting...I really hope there is a way to disable voices altogether.

I hope there is voice acting for item descriptions. I hate reading text.

lol

I had hoped that they would speak Hylian and not Japanese or English, and to my dread it seems like we're getting American English? In a fantasy game? No thanks! But I don't mind all that much really, from the little I've seen from the VA

I prefer voices. Link talking would be cool too.

I hope there's the possibility to switch (no pun) to English/Japanese in Europe because while I do like the voice actors' voices for the italian version the translations were meh compared to the English version, one might wonder how different it is from the japanese...
