And yes, Voice acting can completely break a game, and Nintendo has little to no experience making VA in games. Plenty of games have characters that the fans hate just because their VAs sucked. Keep it out of Nintendo games, please.

I'd actually argue that many recent Nintendo games have done a great job with voice acting, with Kid Icarus Uprising and Fire Emblem Awakening being the first examples that come to mind, with the games using professional voice actors rather than unknown ones. Admittedly, this trend is a recent one, but still gives me hope for continuous improvements in that area. 

That being said...I guess I'm one of those fans that dislikes the idea of voice acting in Zelda, simply because I fear it would change the game experience to something more cinematic than I'd prefer. The Zelda franchise has always been more of an experience akin to reading a storybook, rather than watching a movie. It might appeal more to everyone else, but I'd personally be pretty dissapointed if one of my favorite franchises made that change. Of course, I'd gladly eat crow if they can keep the atmosphere of the series even with voice acting. I'm just not very optimistic about it.

Off-topic, but has anyone here watched the Magi anime dub? I read that the English voice actor for Chrom in FE:A does Sinbad. Kinda makes me wanna watch the anime again. XD
