WHY can't they do both?

OPTIONS MENU
LINK TALK - ON/OFF
GRAFIX - ARTSY NINTENDO VISION / WHAT THE GAMERS WANT

Now I'm gonna guess you're joking...

However, I don't know which "gamers" you've been talking to but what I want is pretty much what was shown. 



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Link shouldn't talk, but the other characters should be voice acted instead of text boxes.

You're the minority, sales history show gamers do not favour the cartoon look.  OoT and TP are series biggest sellers by several million. 


History doesn't show anything except that the first "open world" 3D game and the first Zelda game launching with Wii gimmick features sold well. Artstyle doesn't factor into anything in that regard.

Since there is dialogue, it should be in voices, but Link should be silent. Also, Fzero RPG.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Well, excuuuse me princess! I didn't know silent protagonists were a no no these days.

I'm glad they're keeping VA out of the game. Zelda has been perfect without it.

I really don't understand why people are against voice acting in this series. The only answer given is "because it's always been that way and I don't want change".

 

I expect them to go the Persona route with full voice acting + mute protaginist outside of action sound effects.

Well excuuuuse me Mr. Aonuma, seems to me like you're simply afraid to give him a voice.

Well, of course he'd be afraid! Could you imagine the fan reaction to that?!

Yeah. He's probably even more worried now thanks to Metroid Other M's screw up on Samus' personailty. Imagine everyone going "OMFG YOU GAVE HIM A VOICE! NOT BUYING." There are people that would do that.
