Looks really badass so far. The voice acting really fits well, but I'm also glad Link seems to retain his silent protagonist role.

God I need to pick up the Switch now.

The VA work seems more expressive in the Japan version

So I wrote a thing tonight.

By the way, I've been fanboying over this thing ALL DAY LONG.

^Does the concurrence of the Rito and the Zora in this universe call the Zora-Rito evolution theory into question?

(btw, typo in the last paragraph: "we won't have to wait too long")

Maybe a faction that split off and transformed themselves with magic?

Unless the King calls Link "mah boi" I won't be interested in this game. :crossedarms:

I'll be honest. I don't like voice acting in video games 9 times out of 10, especially dub voice acting. I don't like the voice acting in the new Ace Attorney games and I probably won't like the voice acting here.

But literally everything else about this game looks **** INCREDIBLE OH MY G O D (also to be fair for kids/people who have trouble reading voice acting is important so I guess I should get over it grumble grumble)

I don't think they should bother if Link is not voiced. Silent protagonists can get by in writing but not with voiced material, IMO.

Thankfully this voice acting is only in cutscenes, I think.

Post by **Marilink** » Fri Jan 13, 2017 5:57 pm

I personally don't want Link to be voiced. That'd feel wrong. And "silent protagonists" are not actually silent--they're meant to be imprints for your personal voice.

^ I 100% agree with you, but I also agree with IRHP. In a game with a silent protagonist (as I personally hope Zelda will always be) I prefer no voice acting at all.

Again, old man yells at cloud. Grumble grumble..

just so we're all clear, I'm not a fan of voice acting either, so I'm with you there. But if there is VO, I'd still rather Link not get it.

Post by **Apollo the Just** » Fri Jan 13, 2017 6:06 pm

Gotcha. We are definitely on the same page then.

.......ok but this game looks incredible. I'm really curious to see how the storytelling unfolds in a game that looks to be very open and exploration-based, since it clearly still has animated cutscenes and such. It honestly looks like my personal ideal blend of gameplay + story (I would be upset if they removed cutscenes personally, I love cutscenes in games), and I'm so ready to see how it plays out.

VO is more or less necessary for me once the graphics hit a certain level of realism. Text-only Witcher or Uncharted would be weird to the point of being uncomfortable, I think. Needs a minimum of Simmish.
