Was just wondering this myself: How would i react if Link was to speak?

Would i enjoy the addition of voice overs? or curse it because it's not the same game?

Opinions?

He already has a voice. He makes an annoying sound when he slashes his sword, gets hurt, etc.

I would be shocked if this actually happened, but I will be very upset if Link's voice turns out to be bad, esp. the English voice.

There is a reason I do not want Link to have a spoken voice as English voice acting is more misses than hits due to its poor reputation. Other than bad dialogue, bad voice acting is what I cringe most in a video game. I did not vote on this poll because there is no option that states "unsure."

By the way, the Youtube video linked is no longer available for viewing.

I would like it to be this way: all the characters have voices and Link communicates with lines you choose (a la KOTOR) but doesn't have a voice.

Absolutely. The series needs a major overhaul, and voice acting is one thing that would be great.

No, not at all

The whole point of the game is for the user to be in Link's shoes. If he's talking then he's not saying what you want is he?

No?

Good, I'm glad I made my point

The franchise needs so much work to stay viable that voice acting is something that shouldn't even be on the list. You're looking at a car in a junk yard and someone is asking when you're gonna buy new car mats.

Link's not wise enough to be voiced by Morgan Freeman.

Zelda could be though

Omg!!! Anyway link doesnt need a voice. Watch a cutscene of windwaker and you will see that link talks through his facial expressions.

Neutral. I'm a HUGE Zelda fan and don't care weither Link has a voice acting or not.

However, I would like to hear voices on all the other characters in the world. (this would have suited Twilight Princess perfectly)

Negatively, especially if the Voice Acting was bad.
