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

Zelda had a dunny sounding American accent then.

It actually appears like the VA will be region specific; American English in NA and British ENglish in EU :D yay!



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

I don't know why people liked that Zelda cry in Japanese, the squeakiness of that hurt my ears. And it almost went supersonic. The English one was better. Much more subtle.

 

THIS!!!

Meh i wont be bothered if there isn't duel audio just because im used to having to deal with english voice acting plus i think the english voices are really good.

I hope at a minimum, it is dual audio

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.

This.

There seems to be a high chance we will all betting dual VA.

From GAF ( http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=1334251 ):

"Zelda Breath of the Wild will seemingly have dual audio voices
According to this tweet from someone who asked the question to a Nintendo rep during the Paris hands-on event, Zelda will feature both the japanese voices and the english/european dubs, depending on what version you're buying.

I don't know if there was confusion about this, but since Xenoblade X didn't feature that, I thougt it would be nice to have the confirmation."

Mostly because it was not subtle. It was visceral. It shows real pain. It's like a kick in the gut and it left a real impact with me.

Hearing the 'pretty girl cry' of the english dub was one of the more dissapointing parts of it along with the very noticable fake old person voice they used for what I assume to be Impa.

But to each their own. As long as I'm not stuck with the english dub it's all fine.

To me it sounded like typical Japanese overacting.

This ^^ i think the only reason alot of people are saying the Japanese voices are better is because its the original and the English voices dont sound the same.

Not for me. I genuinely prefer the japanense dub in this case. It seems to have a better cast and better performances to me. I'm not usually biased towards japanense dubs though and certainly no 'purist' or anything. I just liked it better.
