Well we definitely had some "shake of formula" with SS and ALBW, but with Zelda U he also said "going back to Zelda roots".

Beat the game and on the second run you understand what they're saying. (?)

I meant that in a very Wind Waker sense; first time you're playing, certain characters speaks Old Hylian and you don't understand squat. Play a second time, it's translated now!

Voice acting and Zelda, well I got to admit Nintendo must have some balls left if they are willing to do that. Even if it is optional, a female link seems a bit like a Social justice warrior action, since there are plenty strong female characters in the Zelda series already. For some reason I think a male link is more fitting, unlike femshep (better voice acting) and other female rpg characters, which are equally good. Since I am mostly a rogue for me a female is mostly more fitting, work with what you got.

wow you're one those sjw's that glee's at every regressive, auhoritarian leftist achievement.

I just like to see the world burning!

I knew it

Well no, it'll still be crappy. But we'll simply have no way of knowing how far off they are, so it'll all be...good?

I don't see how that's trolling. It's a compromise, since there are definitely Zelda fans who don't want voice acting. A simpler compromise would be to allow the player to disable voices... but the Zelda series has never been known for giving players options.

Gibberish voice work has been done multiple times, most notably for Zelda singing the Ballad of the Goddess. That's a solid precedent.

It would be trolling to announce that the game will have voice acting before revealing that it is not an Earthly language. The news being leaked in this way in advance may give that sort of impression.

Kind of hope there won't be gibberish voice acting. Would be awesome to hear dialogue at the beginning of Zelda's reveal trailer during a black screen or a scenic view. And then the camera shows it was Zelda/Ganondorf/whatever talking and then the words Legend of Zelda show up.
