Forums - Nintendo - The voice is awful.

It has a bit of cheese in it but I don't complain. I love cheesy lines of dialogue!

Its fine. But I don't like how she says your name twice during gameplay when you are seeminlgy lost. I heard you once already!



It's clearly an english accent and maybe the ''voice'' is zelda. Zelda is from england confirmed lol.

What Zelda has is nothing special, but it is perfectly adequate to its purpose. Calling it awful is a big stretch though.



Americans cant voice act aside from a limited few

Oh come on. This isn't a Zelda forum, at least specify the game somewhere. There's no name in either the title or the OP.



it's good to me.



I just hope that the voice actors from The Faces of Evil and Wand of Gamelon will turn! I need some "mah bois" in the game!

IMO. Is not that I'm a purist and don't like voices. Is just that, to me, it sounds like any generic american female trying to pull off a mystical voice. It's cringeworthy. Most fans are still bewitched by first impresions and may claim everything is perfect, but I think that many will find it cringy as the toxification cedes. Navi, Midna and Fi voices were far superior if only because they were unique.

I agree with you I would have prefered a child like voice as it would suit the simple dialog better IMO. Also it would have been nicer if Her voice started out as a whisper.



Honestly, I thought the voice sounded like a French woman speaking english, I swear she had that accent (I have a French friend, her last "Wake up Link" sounded exactly like how he'd say it)... but it sounded fine. "Awful", at the very least, is rather overstating it.

We have little to no example of how voice will be used in this game, so I hardly think it's worth stressing about.Games don't need stellar voice acting anyway: I'd say House of the Dead 2 and Shenmue I & 2 had the worst voice acting I've ever encountered and people didn't seem to care.
