Most of it I agree with, but child-Link does not belong in a TLP realistic-graphic setting. Also, dear god, no VA. PLEASE. We saw how games like Metroid Other M can ruin characters just with VA.


That's such a stupid arguement. MoM wasn't ruined by voice acting; it was ruined by bad writing, a terrible script, and bad voice acting.

And I already said that I don't want the next Zelda to be a realistic TP knock off, so child Link would fit just fine! (Plus Aonuma already confirmed that the art style will be unique)

No, VA ruins so many games it's not even funny. Bad VA was easily the top reason MoM was so bad, and script goes hand-in-hand with VA.

The art-style will be realisticly gloomy/dark, like TP. If not, fans will riot, and they'll lose a lot of sales, especially after that demo they had a couple years ago. 

Child Link is worst Link for a dark and gloomy art-style. I know, people say that MM had Child Link but it was still good, but even then MM isn't known for having a great Link, but for having a great atmosphere and story. The best 3D Links are Wind Waker Link (12 years old in a cartoony world) and TP Link (his interactions as an adult with the environment were refreshing). 


Aonuma literally said it won't look like that. He hated that artstyle and said you can find it anywhere. He doesn't care if non-fans riot. This is already confirmed for the game.

And, no, voice acting doesn't.

If Nintendo listens to Aonuma for Zelda art styles they are going to drive Zelda to the ground. A realistic Zelda would sell Wii Us like nothing else Nintendo can offer, doing anything different would be great for the artistic-minded folks, but nobody would rush out to buy a Wii U in today's age for a cartoony Zelda. And he better care if fans riot, without fans Zelda wouldn't be what it is today. I'm fine with the cycle they have going now (realistic Zelda, then artistic Zelda, then realistic again, etc), having two cartoony Zeldas in a row, especially one on a console that can bring Zelda to life like never before, would be literally the supidest thing Nintendo can do for sales. 

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.


Oh, there is so much wrong with this.

1. There is no indication that a non-realistic Zelda wouldn't sell. WW sold better than TP on the GCN, and TP on the Wii had it's sales inflated because it was a launch title for the most successful launch title in Nintendo's history and was riding the same motion control waves that sold Wii Sports. More people liked TP because more people had the chance to play it. If SS was in the same position, it would have sold just as much.

2. Not realistic does not mean cartoony. Journey is not realistic.

3. Aonuma doesn't care. His job is to make a good game, not please whining non-fans.

4. OoT and MM are not "realistic." There is no cycle. There is only TP. That's your cycle.

5. Zelda can be brought to life without being realistic, hence WWHD.

No. Voice acting doesn't break any game. Bad voice acting does. Their experiece doesn't matter. Zelda needs to get with the program and incorperate quality voice acting into it's games. There's not one game out there that is worse off because of good voice acting.
