Link seems to go the same route Mario does-- mouth all dialogue, but retain the screams and grunts.

Mario actually says things though like "Here we go!" and "See you next time." I think, officially, Link has only ever said "Come on," and I don't see that changing anytime soon, but, if it does, Nintendo should get Justin Bieber to voice Link.

I was referring to the cutscenes, where there is actual dialogue (voice or text) rather than brief interjections. In Super Mario Sunshine and all the Paper Mario games, whenever Mario speaks to another character, his lips move but there is no speech (though the English version of SMS actually had Mario's lines edited out). In Twilight Princess, Link can be seen talking to other characters, like Ilia, but you can't hear anything there, either.

Gilbert Gottfried

Gottfried would be a good voice actor for eiither the mail man or Tingle. As for my list of voice actors, those are just some of the talent that wish could voice Link. There is no doubt(atleast in my mind) that any of these guys could do a good job. As for Link sounding like Kaneda, Cam Clarke also voice Liquid Snake and I loved that character. He would make a good voice actor for an adult Link. Corlett would and Romano would be good for a teenage Link and Taylor would be good for the Wind Waker Link.

This is why Link shall never speak:

Can you remind me what he says, exactly?  I didn't notice this at all...

[ThomasO]

He doesn't say anything. In fact, we have no idea what they talk about.

[Guitar Smasher]

Ok, well that's exactly my point, he never has any dialogue.  So voice acting for him is just silly, which I point out every time this gets brought up.  The only reason other characters communicate with him is to establish the setting and inform you where/what to go/do next (or sometimes for comedic reasons).  If Link starts talking back, then it just becomes a movie...

[Kytim89]

How would you guys feel if any of those voice actors were to do voice work for Link? I would like to see it happen. You know in the begining of Mad Max 3 where Max is wandering in the desert and he has some kind of cloak over his out fit and he wanders into Barter Town? I was wondering if some thing like that style could be adapted for LoZ.

Basically have Link as an adult wandering a desert searching for Navi with some kind of cloak covering his tatered green tunic and cap. This Link would have stuble. He wanders into a town fool of bandits becaues Epona has been stolen.

Isn't that the beginning of the most recent HD Prince of Persia game, but with the character names swapped out for Zelda ones?

Can we thread ban Kytim89? His awful Zelda ideas are giving me aids.

[Peachylala]

Can't blame a guy for being a bit excited over a new Zelda game.

The mouth flapping in Twlight Princess distracted me. Do not do it again, Nintendo. Please.

Imagine Link battling a darknut or a darkhammer in a thunder dome like arena. That idea should get me banned from here for sure.

You know I was actually fond of the mouth flapping,  I'd like more of it.

[MoronSonOfBoron]

Maybe Nintendo could be hailed for having a Deaf protagonist who speaks in sign language!

And you have to Waggle to talk to other characters!

[ThePerm]

Kytim reminds me of me early gamecube era, when I read my old posts I think WTF was I thinking.

[Kytim89]

Steven Jay Blum, the guy who voiced Jack in Madworld would be good a choice for the voice of Ganon.

Ok that hits the nail right on the head! Thats what i've been thinking!

I don't want Ganon sounding like a Solid Snake.

I don't want anyone, ever, voicing Zelda.

[Kytim89]

I am researching more voice actors for the other recuring voice actors. Perhaps Patrick Stewart could voice the deku tree?

Nothing wrong with that. Don't go ruining his innocence.

Nah, Patrick Stewart could pull off Ganondorf. He has the voice for something like that and I thought his more 'evil' rolls have been pretty good in the past.

[ThePerm]

yeah there was this one flash video made by this legendary frog guy, and Ganons voice was similar to PAtrick Stewarts, and i liked it

[EasyCure]

EasyCure that is probably the best idea I have heard for the vitality sensor.

Hmm do you have any ideas on horseback swordplay and the vitality sensor?

Thank you, and no no ideas that aren't very unique for that particular situation. (You know, like helping your aim)

Wait, that's a lie. If we stopped being stuck on the notion that Link only has one horse (an Epona) and instead there are wild mares throughout Hyrule Field that link can ride.. then that would open up the possability of having to tame one before being able to ride it properly (ie ride it steady enough to be able to use your weapons). Then again that's better suited for a game that isn't Zelda (something like Monster Hunter perhaps?). Then again... we don't know how different this Zelda game will be from others, so who knows if ideas like this will pan out.
