Will Zelda games ever have voice overs??

I fear that if Link had a voice the Samus effect of Other M could occur. Meaning that the character would gain an extremely solid personality and therefore would open itself to be liked/disliked by people either due to the fact that the personality is not that charming to some, or simply because it shatters whatever the imagination of gamers has constructed about such a mysterious character.

So I am ok with other characters having voices, but not Link.

Yeah, eventually, but dont hold your breathe for Link and Zelda talking, i bet this guys will be with no voice forever, which IMO is the better choice.

[QUOTE="locopatho"][QUOTE="so_hai"]If it does have voice-acting, they should be speaking Hylian. If they speak English, it would cause all of the Hylian text and lore throughout the games' history to be fairly redundant. Why would the characters be speaking English anyhow? They don't write it, read it, sing it and so on... so_hai

We don't need voice overs, that's the magic of the Zelda series.

I don't think it ever will and i don't think it ever should, it really isn't necessary and it adds to the style of the Zelda games; i suppose it is possible that it could be implemented well but it is just fine without it.

There's no reason for them not to at this point. It's true that other nintendo games don't have VOs, but no other nintendo games have stories like Zelda. At this point, there's no excuse for having to read everything. The characters need to have voices.

And they could do that and keep link silent.

The series been around too long to make any real big changes to its "soul" which is having no voice overs.

From Satoru Iwata in an issue of Nintendo Power:"It would break the image of Link to have him speak." He went on to explain that none of the other characters should speak if Link is silent because it would be an "off mixture."t;/em>
