I want to take your opinions on whether or not you would like Link to get a voice in the next Zelda game, or if you want him to stay a silent hero, AND WHY you'd prefer it that way.

I remember hearing a good idea one time, a guy proposed having voice acting for everyone in the game except Link, i happen to like that idea. If you've ever played Paper Mario, the game is also made the same way as Zelda, everyone in Paper Mario "speaks" except for Mario (it's actually text), i loved the way that game was handled :)

That way it makes things less odd for fans who are used to the character the way they are, and also so the personality and entity of the character doesn't change from how people preceive him.

*ALTHOUGH*, I DO remember hearing Samus' voice in the E309 trailer and was actually pretty nice, though i'll admit i haven't played much metroid compared to most fans of the series. i AM interested in Other M however :D

Dude I was complaining about the fact he doesnt have a voice and looks stupid on the thread about  Zelda Info leak. Did you stole this topic idea from my comments?

 

anyway heres what I posted in that thread:

 

I wonder about when Zelda creators will make a Link character thats not a Mute. In this day an age thats pathetic, theres only so many times when a gesture is an acceptable way to express oneself (unless you are deaf/mute using lenguage signs) really Nintendo there are things that you NEED to implement, not because of some stupid made up reason but because is something that is really jarring when is lacking from a great game.

Oh also stop trying to shoehorn OOT music/sound creation gameplay mechanic in all the following games. Innovate and provide something fresh and unique besides the use of Motion plus.

What is the point about Link's voice? That would be odd getting Link a voice.

I like to recognize good themes from OoT in TWP and hear them. And TWP soundtrack was pretty impressive and there weren't that much OoT themes.

So you like the fact that when Link is being informed about important and serious things and all he can do is say "AHH, OHH, HIAH" and in most cases Nod his head or Do nothing and stay motionless like if he doesn’t understand the magnitude of what is being said. Having a voice will help with this.

 

I wasn’t referring to the Music Per se, I was speaking about the gameplay mechanic of using a wolf howls to replicate some sound and have an ability unlocked which is a total rip-off of OOT flute, but is even older than OOT, it’s the same gameplay mechanic being reused endlessly and that  is a clear sign of a lack of gameplay innovation IMO.
