Poll: Robin Williams as the New Voice of Link Petition

[Gigaguy64]

While Robin Williams is awesome.
No.
Link doesn't need a voice.

Im fine with Him Grunting, yelling, gasping, and laughing.

Besides im trying to imagine him as Link and......i don't like it....

 

[Arisato-kun]

Yes. But only because I would laugh uncontrollably.

 

[SirDerick]

Link is a silent protagonist that grunts and yells alot.

You want to hire a big time voice actor for that?

 

[Kortney]

I'm confused, isn't it Robin William's choice? This is rather creepy. He is in charge of his own career, not us.

 

[DarkRyter]

Yes, we should have Robin Williams grunt and yell.

He's actually a Zelda fan, naming one of his children Zelda, so he actually might be up for it.

 

[Arkhangelsk]

Link is a silent protagonist. He should never, ever, ever, ever have a voice actor. He's silent for a reason.

 

[Serenegoose]

Pfff. Jennifer Hale should voice act link. She's voice acted pretty much everyone else ever, including (if I recall) some mostly silent protagonists who just go "urgh!" "hurk!" "yah!"

Hells, maybe she has voice acted Link.

 

[Macgyvercas]

Having Link talk is NOT a good idea. Seriously, not even Liam Neeson could make it seem right, and Liam Neeson can do anything! Besides, you remember what happened last time Link spoke, don't you? You don't? Good, because it never happened. But to give you a taste of the disater that was Link talking, I suppose I can break my taboo against this temporarily.

At the cost of my soul, I summon...THIS!


IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT!?! IS IT!?!

 

[Deacon Cole]

Yes, we should have Robin Williams grunt and yell.

He's actually a Zelda fan, naming one of his children Zelda, so he actually might be up for it.

He might also be up for starring in a remake of When the Clown Cried. That doesn't mean he should do it.

Personally, I've stopped liking Robin Williams so much. I'm kind of tired of his improvised riffing schtick, incidentally, how would pop culture references in a Zelda game work?

I don't think this is the worst idea ever. I just find it an idea so pathetic, I can't understand why anyone would care one way or the other.

1. Link is a young teenager (?)
2. Robin Williams is 59 years old and sounds like he's 90.

 

[Macgyvercas]

1. Link is a young teenager (?)

Yes. Usually around the age of 14 (though the age varies from game to game). It is highly unlikely that his age ever exceeds 19 at any point in the series.

 

[PhunkyPhazon]

...This just might be the strangest petition I've ever seen. I don't think I would ever consider putting Link and Robin Williams in the same sentence. And yeah, Robin Williams is definitely NOT the voice I would want for Link.

 

[thatstheguy]

God dammit! Why did your thread for this have to be more successful than mine?

Oh well. I tried this out if only for the lulz. Besides, I highly doubt it'll matter much. They don't actually have to give Link any lines. Just get Williams to to some grunts and grogs and that just be fine.

 

[A random person]

Yes, it would be hilarious. While we're at it, we should also make an Eva dub (he's a fan) where at least some of the characters are played by him, in his style of comedy (and if you think that's bad, I want a dub where everyone's played by Tommy Wiseau; imagine Gendo with that accent).

 

[shogunblade]

Robin Williams as Tingle would be good enough for me, but in all honesty, a voice for Link is a bad idea. A BAD Idea.

I love the little scamp, but I don't want him doing wisecracks from any voice actor. YAA! and AHH! are good enough.
