Robin Williams as Link?

[thatstheguy]

Skip to 2:00 or so for the actual "Robin Williams as Link" part of the video.

<youtube=6ZbWP_cGOdI>


I saw this and just thought "hey what the hell? I might as well do this for a laugh."

I managed to talk to a representative and they were surprisingly alright with it (so they say). The point though is that I'm surprised people actually care enough to do this sort of thing. So basically I'm saying (for the sake of actual discussion) is that if you could make a minor cosmetic change to any game what you do?

Exactly.

Why did you add this? Shouldn't we be discussing the video? Discussion doesn't need a concrete question, if anything these questions just spawn random 1 sentence answers without much cross-quoting discussion.

Anyway, good for the guy to try this. The representative on the phone is pretty down about it too, he wasn't even laughing. But just imagining it: Robin as Link would be hilarious.

"Hya!" "Hey-ah!" "Good morning Vietnaaaaaam!"

Link still does grunts and vocal sounds. Both of which require a voice actor.

That would be awesome! It would be like a real life version of an FMV!

It still ties into the video. There both related to the minor things we always think would be fun to see in games if only for a laugh. I just thought it'd be better discussion wise, though maybe that's just me.

This man is Correct ^

 

[ma55ter_fett]

I am sure he would agree to do it if asked... didn't he name his daughter "zelda" after the legend of zelda series?

 

[Socius]

Link is mute!
This is madness!

 

[ProfessorLayton]

Robin Williams is always awesome. Always

Anyone who says that has never seen Man of the Year.

It wouldn't make sense... why not get someone... younger? Who fits Link's personality? It's just so bizarre to imagine Link with Robin William's voice...

 

[Macgyvercas]

Robin Williams is always awesome. Always

Yes, he is awesome, I'm glad we're all in agreement on that point, but no matter how awesome Robin Williams is, Link shouldn't fucking speak. EVER!

 

[MikailCaboose]

...No. Just no...His current voice actor (if you can call it a voice actor) does all the job he needs. I don't find that giving Link ANY kind of voice would be necessarily good.

I might just do that! What is the international Dial Code for the US?
