The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

I wonder if the voice talking to Link is Princess Zelda? I love her voice.

Also, Koroks are back.

I want to see a shop.

Link has an axe. He's gonna chop some heads off!

[Depression Moon]

Monsters were just minding their own business and then Link attacked them.

[Depression Moon]

Almost killed himself.

They needed an explosive finale.

Ah, no story/character news, it seems. Just gameplay stuff. Eh, I can get behind that. It kinda makes me think how the first Zelda game would be if it was made today since there's so much focus on gameplay and world exploration.

I love the art style. Mature like Twilight Princess, but cel shaded like Wind Waker.

Also, I'm with Fynn. No voice acting in Zelda!

I love how the music almost has a Joe Hisashi feel to it. Its almost like the music and art departments were binge watching Studio Ghibli films while working on this game. Not that I'm complaining mind you.

VA is more wait and see as far as I'm concerned. As long as Link doesn't talk, I'm not bothered really until the VA proves to be a bad idea.

I have no issue with voice acting in Zelda. So far from what I've seen it works.

In fact, this game incorporates a lot of things that on paper Zelda fans wouldn't like, and so far it all works. This is the most RPGish Zelda since Zelda II, and I'm surprisingly okay with that.

Edit: Posted that pic in the wrong site, omg.

Yeah, it's not that I think it's a bad idea, I just don't think a lack of voice acting is as outdated a feature as many people claim it to be and I kinda liked how Zelda still retained that old school feel in that regard

Oh, I get what you're saying. That's why I'm glad the VA seems light. Strikes me as a good compromise. Since there's no reason for every single NPC in the world to have a VA.

[Depression Moon]

Exploration is incredible!

I hate how some games try to "immerse" you by leaving only voices and removing subtitles or making them very tiny. My hearing isn't the best and I can have problems with some thicker accents and I would really just prefer to know what's going on by following with my eyesight or just scroll the text at my own pace. But that's just me

I like how it doesn't feel like Zelda Skyrim. They did a good job creating a unique experience that oozes the spirit of Zelda.

Also, there was a Temple of Time ruins a while back for anyone who missed it. I didn't see it, but heard it mentioned on the Zelda site I'm also following the news on.
