The Legend of Zelda Series

Thanks, it's nice seeing you guys again.

Zelda is back to form. 

Wait until the next console game is on-rails, and in a more literal sense than the last console game.

An arcade-style on-rails Zelda would be awesome... as long as it's not the next main console game.

If they don't take anything from ALBW for the next console Zelda I'm going to be extremely disappointed.

They will take the linearity of Skyward Sword to the next level.

What do you guys think about the idea of voice acting in Zelda?

[Spark Of Spirit]

Unneeded.

Unneeded.

I was hoping for more than a one word post.

I was hoping to have a more explicit reason.

But really, ALBW had more than enough story and surprisingly little text to carry it along. Adding voices to that really would be a waste of time and might even distract from the atmosphere.

I think people who want voice acting just don't like reading, honestly. IMO, that's a lame excuse.

Many would argue that voice acting simply helps to enhance that immersion of being in a game world. To that, I do think it's a bit unfair to say they just are too lazy to read.

Either way, that doesn't necessarily relate to what I think of the idea of voice acting in Zelda.

I am one of these people.

That said, no game really needs voice acting, especially not one like Zelda. It'd be nice to see (hear?), but I really wouldn't care either way.

I've read comments specifically saying "It's *insert year here* and I shouldn't have to read!" and similar things. Unless it's something like an action game that would otherwise be slowed down by reading text, otherwise I don't really have much use for voice acting. Most RPGs, for instance, bore me with voice acting outside of battles. I read faster than they speak.

But Zelda? Most of the game is spent alone in a dungeon. You wouldn't hear a voice for 95% of the game outside of grunts, so what's another 5%?

I agree with this. But as a whole, I'm kind of 50/50 when it comes to voice acting in Zelda. However, I'm curious why you think Zelda in particularly doesn't need it, at least over most games.

By the way, Foggle, when are you ever going to get around to playing Twilight Princess?

Eventually.

You played Skyward Sword by your own free will, but you don't even own Twilight Princess?

[Spark Of Spirit]

Skip to ALBW.

Twilight Princess is awesome, you anti-3D Zelda fan.
