Art direction is what it is, people can move past that I think. But lack of voice acting these days is no small matter. Call it a "tradition" if you want, but times have changed and now lack of voice acting is viewed as either lazy or the sign of a low budget. And before the pitchforks come out, no, I don't think Link should be voiced. Rather, I think the game should follow the Elder Scrolls and Metroid Prime model of voicing everyone except Link. If TES has proved one thing, it's that silent protagonists aren't a problem. But silent games are. |
LOL. We have come full circle. I remember this exact same argument being used during the Gamecube era, then Nintendo added voice acting to Mario Sunshine, then they (smartly) removed it in Mario Galaxy and Mario Galaxy obliterated Sunshine in sales.
