i think its a good idea for Samus to finally have a voice. makes her more..."human" of a character. it gives her more personality.
as for somebody like Link, im still on the fence about him actually talking. i vaguely remember hearing about Miyamoto saying why Link didnt talk. he said he wanted the player to feel like they were the hero, not just playing another persons story(or something to that affect). i can understand that. but i also think it may be time to finally hear link talk and actually give him a personality beyond just being courageous......
well, theres my 2 cents...
