This topic has been discussed several times between LOZ fans. Some people saying they should add voice acting, others are saying no it should remain the same.
If u want some Skyward Sword reviews, even a few in Twilight princess, you will hear the reviewers asking for voice acting. Others have said it might ruin the game cuz,well, music is a huge part of LOZ.
The interesting thing that made me discuss this is Hyrule Warriors.
I have seen a couple of gameplay videos and interestingly, there is voice acting for the narrator that talks before each mission.
Another thing is, the cutscenes dont feel like Ocarina of time or any other text based games, they are actual cutscenes with those normal LOZ reactions' sounds or whatever. The cutscenes are just mind blowing and I felt like someone has set the voices on mute.
So I think Nintendo is afraid to add voices. They have like one shot at this: either fans will like the voice acting or completely critize the voices.
What do u think ?
I think they should do it in Zelda U and, perhaps, add a mute voices option.

It's strictly financial imo. Nintendo doesn't have umlimited resources and they are very careful not to overspend.

I wouldn't say that, certain games like Kid Icarus: Uprising, The Last Story, Xenoblade and many others before shows that Nintendo is willing to put up money for voice work. It honestly seems to be a internal decision to not include voice work on the titles that classically have never had it. Which would be fine except for the fact that they are now including superb quality cinema cutscenes and having the characters speak in grunts,squels and text boxes instead of just nutting up and giving them voices.
I mean Link is literally the only one that doesn't need a voice actor (outside of his grunts and squels, which since OoT he has had a new for each game), although if I got to hear Nobuyuki Hiyama back on as Link and after the whole game of staying silent suddenly just bust out and start saying some crazy speech about justice, courage and not giving in at the end before the credits roll, I would consider that the best LoZ ending ever.
