Nevermind that voice is too manly for him.

Maybe let Marth voice him again?

Forget it. Nobuyuki Hiyama and nobody else.

Personally, I'd want a surf dude with attitude.

Final Fantasy would be in better shape now if they could get decent scenario and script writers. Voice acting isn't the problem.

EDIT: Plus the whole making it not so incredibly linear thing. How could I forget.

I agree. The voice acting in FFXIII is good. Really good at times but the script and the "kooky" japanese humour and sounds are embarrasing.

I agree that there are all the other problems with it, but I think it started the genre down a path of being more 'accessible' and 'modern'. I think if Legend of Zelda started including things like voice acting, it could easily share a similar fate.

This thread makes me think what Nintendo is going to do when Charles Martinet isn't around anymore....

If you need instructions on how to get a replacement Mario voice actor. Check out.

I think the series would work better with good gibberish than true voice acting. Midna was quite good. (Opposite to Okami/Banjo gibberish where it gets annoying after the first ten minutes).

I love the sword-girl's gibberish from SS as well.

 

[eXistor]

Are people still on this? Link will and should never have a voice outside exclamations.

Jeffrey Rath. I'd buy it, no fucking doubt.

you seem like a very emotional young lady

And so what if I am? ;_;

Tommy Lee Jones.

Whoever does the voice for Gordon Freeman would be a perfect fit.

Nevermind Link that voice is too manly for him.

Wait, The guy who voiced Vegeta also did Kou Uraki from Gundam 0083? Mind. Blown.

*edit*

AND CAPTAIN FALCON!!

Link should never talk. they could litterally say in the game he is mute, but i would rather have gibberish and no talking if nintendo aren't prepared to pay for top quality ala mass effect, fallout scale.

i hate HATE the american ff7 AC voice acting, makes me want to gallged my eyes out, though i am one of those snoots who watch subbed anime and any non english films.

I think not knowing the langauge adds a kind of abstarction and beauty, many songs listen to i japanese, and i would rather not know the lyrics meaning because it would ruin it

 

[Despera]

Everyone except Link wouldn't bother me if they turned out to have voiced dialogue.

I hope Link never starts talking. Because even if it turned out to be alright there will most definitely be idiot fans who'd shit all over the game for it.

And some others.

Also Robyn Atkin Downes could do a very good job IMO.

 

[MMaRsu]

Nobody and especially not Nolan North. Although I can't tell if you're trying to bait for trolling.

He should be voiced by the voices in your head. Everything doesn't need voice acting just because. Link can be more likeable due to not having a voice, if he has a typical Cloud voice complaints will follow, if he has a Snake-type voice complaints will follow. With no voice he can sound however you want him to sound.

Why not just use the voice actor that already does his various grunts and emotive sounds? At least it would be consistent.

[MMaRsu]

I mean is this even a serious topic?

 

[Conrad Link]

I don't want him to talk, but if he had to just get Ikkaku's voice actor to keep doing it.

 

[Chuckpebble]

He should be voiced by someone totally, way out there. My suggestion? Ving Rhames.

 

[Earl Cazone]

who is links current voice actor?

 

[Paddling Ghost]

H Jon Benjamin

Because I want him to voice every character ever. I wish I could hire him to narrate my life.
