| Well, all dialogue, whether it's accompanied by voice acting or not should be skippable - certainly so.
Though I don't know about keeping Link silent forever, I'm curious about a more "active" role for him, so to speak. Don't get me wrong, I like him as he's always been - I'm just curious.
And as for Mario - the only way he should start to have major bits of spoken dialogue would require a new voice for him. The one he's been sporting, thanks to Charles Martinet, since Super Mario 64 I just can't see being sustained beyond the "Whoo-hoos" and other one-liner bits we've all already heard. Doubt it'd change because it's become quite established with him. Link on the other hand could. The more the I think about it though, the more unsure. Really they'd just have to do an insanely good job with him should Link find a voice. Wonder if that'd be even possible. |
