So, according to the leaks yesterday and other leaks before Link is an edgemaster, we can't dive except in some places with some item and it drains magic, you can't talk to all characters in the world and town, you can't skip time at day, the dungeon order is NOT 100% non-linear, there still is no voice acting, idiot-proof hints for story twists and it probably is about flooding Hyrule which is more prequel shit that shouldn't matter since we all know how this saga ends (WW).
Why is anyone still hyped for this game?
Noah Richardson
Wind waker 2?
Dominic Sanchez
Because there has never been a bad 3d zelda game. Sure we had a couple mediocore ones but the Zelda series has probably been consistently good more than any other franchise in gaming history.
Elijah Scott
Who the fuck wants voice acting in a Zelda game?!
Ethan James
True.
Alexander Price
This sounds awfully familiar. Stop falling for this bullshit.
Jace Robinson
And this is still a good thing.
Ryan Brooks
Skyrim fans.
Luke Scott
I'm fine with no voice acting as long as they don't do that shit they did in TP where they animate the mouths and nothing comes out. Unless they want to do something like Midna where they speak some made up language or jibberish.
Adam Reyes
Normalfags and Plebs
Isaac Hughes
That would get really annoying if everyone was doing it.
I prefer no voice-acting. I think it fits the games' overall "storybook" style. Fantasy, fairy tale, whatever you want to call it.
Also voice-actors have become cancer in recent years so fuck 'em.
Austin Martinez
GEE, IT SURE IS BORING AROUND HERE
Zachary Lewis
Flood Hyrule or kill Ganon
Parker White
I prefer overall no voice acting. The mouth flaps with no sound just drove me insane and I don't want them doing that. The jibberish would be okay if they worked on it enough to make it convincingly sound like a foreign language. However that is a lot of work when nothing is just superior to everything else.
Tyler Hughes
Why not flood a sexy brown lady Ganon with your semen?
Christian Gray
What leaks?
Andrew Reed

Xavier Thomas
well theres your problem
Alexander Cruz
MUCHA SHATTA BAKA
Short and sweet, like Wind Waker, is best.
Hudson Sanchez
All I'm finding is a video set to private on youtube. The icon looks like Zelda U at least
Adrian Jones
Yeah that works too but if they did that it would probably be like FE:Awakening and If and that would ruin the whole point.
Bentley Evans

Jeremiah Nguyen

Lucas Sanders
I don't want voice acting in any game now that I think about it. Well maybe RTSes because I like hearing the units say witty things.
Nolan Cruz
The Shulk, Ness and Duck hunt leaks were true though
Brody Walker
i have to agree with this user, bad voice acting sometimes breaks immersion, and because of voice acting game file sizes have become bloated beyond all belief.
Evan Anderson
Now I hate Nintendo fairly passionately, but there's nothing fucking wrong with linearity and the LAST thing I want in a fucking Zelda game is voice acting. Absolutely not, go fuck yourself.
Jace Young
Not to mention these awful cults of personalities forming around voice-actors, many of which are also nepotism-prone hipsters that have a stranglehold on all the talent in the industry. That's why we have the same handful of voices in every single fucking game now, and they're rarely talented or even trying.
Justin Bell
when
Chase Diaz
the only reason you need to never, EVER want voice acting in a Zelda game, or hell any Nintendo release, is because of the fucking localizers.
Daniel Turner
But Zelda games are supposed to be fun to play.
Robert Turner
You must go back to Holla Forums.
Jacob Miller
Shit, I meant cuckchan Holla Forums.
I think I can't recover from this.
Brandon Wood

Hunter Harris
You mean you don't have fun getting killed in some grimdark setting so you can hypothesize about DEEPEST LORE with all your friends?
Fuck, you know what? I think I'm going to break out the old caged thwomp image one of these days to fuck with the autists again. That shit was fun.
Adam Gonzalez
Actually, watching some Wind Waker and OoT cutscenes, I'm now convinced that extremely limited voice acting is best tier.
Just a single word or scoff or laugh; just enough to let your mind fill in the dialogue with an appropriate inner voice. Literally cannot go wrong as long as the character's different utterances have the same voice and fits the character. Unless you have brain problems.
Zachary Flores
You are the cancer, user. You are the cancer.
Parker James
How do I re-enter this Holla Forums??
Bentley Peterson

Jose Harris
You clearly got hit by the shockwave you fucking casul. Git gud and all that
Cameron White
Hand to God I saw people on 4chan claiming this when that webbum first started getting posted.
James Morales

Sebastian Gray

Leo Lopez
Why do people want this?!?!?!
It's the same thing as people wanting a story about Zelda during the 7 years Link is absent. They seem like good ideas but the entire point of this plots is that they occurred during times Hyrule was helpless, there'd be no point for a story during these periods.
Dylan Watson
...
Jayden Wright
Yeah that's what I'm referencing. Fromfags sincerely defend those shit hitboxes by saying everything emits invisible shockwaves that only they can "clearly" see.
Luis Davis
People want their fanfictions to come true.
James Cruz

Zachary Hernandez
all events must be explained in excruciating detail. leave nothing to the imagination.
Xavier Bell
The first exodus was the only good exodus, go fuck yourself tourist.
Matthew Nelson
Whoops, I thought it was the one with the stone giant.
Angel Perez
Good. Voice acting is bullshit that games don't need. All it does is inflate the development cost. Why have 20 voice actors when you could have 2 writers and save a few million?
Lucas Wilson
I'd imagine that some of that DLC was planned but it got cancelled for some reason.
Given how poorly Nintendo has been executing recently, with SFZ being mediocre and Color Splash disappointing people, I don't have high hopes for the new Zelda.
Julian Nelson
Even if you need voice-actors all you really need to do is put some of the staff into a booth to record for a few days. Maybe hire some people off the street, or go to a college and find volunteers even.
Because the big-name celebrity VAs sure as fuck ain't worth the cash.
Caleb Nguyen
The first exodus was 2014, the webm is from 2015 after Bloodborne came out, fuck right off
Liam Miller
This
Adam Wood
Fuck that, no voice acting is better than shitty amateur voice acting. It's a fucking Zelda game, just get someone in to do the Link yips and the villager noises and you're fucking done. Literally shouldn't take more than ten and that's including vocal warmups.
HA
HAAA
HAAA-AAAH!
Done.
Ryder Butler
EXCUUUUUUUSE ME PRINCESS
Blake Moore
It's already a given that your best option would be to find a theatre acting troupe and getting them to do your voices.
But even so Zelda is one place I know proper voice acting would be a detriment to it. Sims need Simmlish, Banjo-Kazooie needs its' mumbles and Zelda needs it's grunts and unintelligible gibberish.
Daniel Jenkins
I-I was just browsing to see how bad it was, I swear, I only do it a few times a week.
Connor Russell
I believe you, go back to Reddit
Jace Martin
wew son
Robert Wood
Wow that hitbox is shit. Did they patch it? I always found the tall fuckers annoying but it was never this bad. Oh yeah, almost forgot to join in the memening,
Jaxon Roberts
Yo OP, mind leaking some NX stuff or is that too risky?
At least tell us if it's stationary or not.
Isaac Morris
I'll leak it because op has no idea and i'm iwatas ghost. So before i died the last i knew of the nx was that it is both handheld and console kindof. You can play games on the console then take the controller away and connect to the console via wifi and keep playing. It sucks and has no battery life. cap this its real unless they changed it after i died.
Owen Butler
That bloom is fucking disgusting.
Sebastian Hall
That's fine.
Good. It better stay that way. Go back to Reddit.
Gabriel Brown
Yo NX will be a handheld, slightly stronger than Vita but can use it as a controller for a home system that's equal to the Xbox One.
How would I know nigga?
Aiden Foster
Wouldn't the source at EAD know?
also is custom robo dead?
Henry Turner
I understand iwata
I always understood
I just…wanted you to understand me too
Caleb Barnes
And I was beginning to think Holla Forums had shit taste.
I had multiple run ins with a shitty user that was whining when HW didn't have VA work because it was too tiresom and distracting to read literally a single sentence while still playing the game.
Samuel Edwards
use your ghost magic to make this post have dubs and ill believe you
Andrew Long
I remember that guy too.
Maybe I'm just a fast reader but from the videos I watched I'm pretty sure I could read the lines in about one to two seconds, which is plenty of time when mashing out excessively elaborate combos. And I just mean the character dialogue boxes.
Thomas Wood
Probably depends on what it means by "dive", if it's underwater swimming and such I can see that being a decent enough way of going about it.
you can't talk to all characters in the world and town
Couldn't in Twilight Princess either, 80% of Castle Town's inhabitants couldn't be talked to because they were just dynamic props more or less
Odd, though I guess if not much happens at night that's not too big a dealbreaker
Good, linear progression of dungeons means more complex and better puzzles. Link Between Worlds had non-linear dungeons for Lorule and its dungeon design was a fucking travesty.
Only retards thought there ever would be, it's tradition now to only voice-act some exclamations or other general inflection-setters (yelps of surprise, yells, etc)
If it's about flooding Hyrule it'd just be another nail in the Hyrule Historia's coffin since Wind Waker establishes the goddesses did it from lack of a hero
Lincoln Anderson
nice thread OP
Jose Sanders
I wanna see some real footage first
if they jsut execute it well enough Im sold
Charles Jones
And?
The original Zelda was barely non-linear when it came progression. It just let you explore and figure out the way to move on by yourself. That's the important thing.
Caleb Jenkins
This place is the only one I can trust and believe in
Also,
Jonathan Johnson
E3 would probably be the place to see new footage. Also this is on nintendo's E3 page, so I'm guessing this symbol must mean something.
Aiden Watson
they were the same guy, but this time the "leaks" were even more fanfiction-tier
Ethan Taylor
It's the Sheikah symbol you dummy
Sebastian Reed
I always have user.
Luis Diaz
You do know thats essentially most nintendo games, minus the ones that pride themselves on VA ala Starfox.
Minimal VA is best VA. If you are going to do VA however, they should go the Banjo Route
Easton Gutierrez
smell my butt
Jacob Morgan
Are you trying to tell me to tuck it?
Thomas Robinson
naughty-dog, generic cinematic FAGs
Mason Murphy
20bux on ninty not having an idea themselves what the fuck gimmick to build NX around and floundering between different ideas and specs.
Charles Turner
So what about that playable female option thing huh?
Dominic Taylor
I so sick of retards like you trying to turn every single fucking thing into another TORtanic. Wow, no voice acting and you can't skip time when it's day? What a piece of fucking shit game! Kill yourself.
If you actually give a shit about video games you'll wait for fucking footage.
Aiden Johnson
Where were the leaks posted?
Jackson Torres
...
Joshua Wood
Cool, I think it'll be a breath of fresh air for once. This "edgy" meme is retarded in all but the most extreme cases anyway, just another poor shaming tactic. I can barely stand underwater sections in every game I've ever played, sounds fine to me. In any game that you can they have some of the most boring, unimaginative dialogue possible. I always just skim through it in the hopes they'll give me an item once I catch on to the fact that they're all boring as shit. Could potentially be annoying if there are a lot of time-specific events/enemies, hopefully the cycle is quick enough for it not to matter, though preferably not OoT quick. Thank fucking God, ALBW was such a boring pile of shit. I hate this Western non-linearity trend the nips are desperately trying to copy. Storytelling, pacing and dialogue in general suffers greatly for it to even be possible. Let it fucking die already. It's a modern Nintendo game targeted at adolescents, I don't know what you're expecting.
I've grown to really dislike Nintendo in the last year myself, but don't shoot this shit down so early. It's probably the only good game we're going to get from them for years.
Jace Barnes
good, zelda games were always boringly text heavy who cares this isn't a bad thing or a good thing voice acting is for retards
not sold on the new zelda
Ethan Russell
wait, people actually fucking want voice acting in a Zelda game?
Kevin Ortiz
OK< I don't know what leaks are you talking about, but
holy shit
is … is that a prequel to Wind Waker? Will we play in a story where Ganon will actually WIN over your character? That's why people were talking about the possibility of Link being a girl, because… She's not THE chosen one, and will actually fail?
Kayden Rivera
I really want reddit to leave.
Luis Rodriguez
Thanks for reminding me with that picture why I hate the bloom waker with all my might, OP. Thanks

Ryan Bailey
First of all, I haven't been able to muster up hype for upcoming games in a long, long time. Secondly, nothing in the OP sounds particularly bad. A couple of them are straight up reassuring. Third, it doesn't even matter because leaks are the gayest. I'll be happy to discuss Zelda U when there's actually something to discuss.
Angel White
Isn't that true for nearly every open world RPG? Lots of NPCs are just window dressing.
Jose Young

Those random voice sounds Twilight Princess had where fucking enough indeed. Fuck voice acting anyways, most of it is cringe shit service to people who are too lazy to read.
Brayden Lopez
This, it's so boring. The writing is never good either, worse than Bethesda's Emil Papagalo.
Well, yeah. Why not? At least for the player and unique NPC's only, like in FO2. As long as it's skipable and the VA isn't cringeworthy.
In Bethesda's games, maybe a few. There are honestly a lot more NPC's with unique interactions in Bethesda's games than other RPG's. If I can recall, everyone has a unique dialog in Gothic II.
Noah Hill
Every single time it's exactly that one stupid argument. You'd think that those people that are simply too fucking lazy to read even a SINGLE FUCKING SENTENCE never made it past grade school.
Nolan Roberts
Honestly, I'd be fine is more games, RPGs especially, did the Animal Crossing thing and pitch-shifted a soundbite or phonetic reading of the letters.
