well person that doesn't have a clue, i think nintendo don't give their characters a voice because its possible that gamers will be put off by the voices. Imagine if people were put off by mario or link if they had dialog? bye bye nintendo? possibly. without giving them voices the gamer's imagination fill's in the gaps and therefore the gamer won't be put off because they imagine the characters the way they want them to be. anyway thats my theory. shame that not everyone thinks about the game they r playing (cough marinky). too much free time gives birth to mindless gaming i guess.

Why don't you explain why the others can't talk then since you seem to know all about it. Sad sad sad.

did i say they were? i said in the EXAMPLE OF METROID because i started talking about samus being my fave nintendo character in recent years. did i say all nintendo characters are in isolated worlds? the funniest thing is you were happy enough to try and point out a mistake but you didn't even correct what u thought the mistake was. so do u know why nintendo didn't give their lead roles dialog? or r u just one of those that go around trying to pick up on the fault of others? sad sad sad.

*Thinks of Mario and Donkey Kong. Then thinks of Kirby* Ummm. Not all Nintendo characters are in isolated worlds. What about Mario, Donkey Kong, Kirby and the like? They have plenty of people to talk to. So does Link.

yeah cheers G man =) i was trying to explain the reason nintendo choose not to give their characters voices. in the example of metroid it works incredibly well because the whole prime experience was to bring the gamer into samus' isolated world. and would i really be criticising Zelda:OoT? rofl. you would have to be mad to criticise a game like that. i read something about why nintendo should get someone to voice act for link in the new zelda....but really i think that would be a big mistake. i don't think they will give him a voice, hopefully.
