Anytime the words "Zelda" and "voice acting" are mentioned in the same sentence, I get nervous.

It's been fine with just text and grunting noises for the past 25 years. If it doesn't need VA by now, it never will and I hope they never give it VA.

Mostly, I'm worried that they'd cast everyone with either American or Upper Class English accents. American to "appeal to more people" or English because those in media seems to think England was the only place that ever had swords, castles and princesses.
I've said it a few thousand times already but, if they did do voices, it would make more sense to have them be Scottish because a lot of the enemies, characters and ideas are found in Scottish myth. I've not seen as much from other cultures in the game.
They'd never do Scottish if they did have to do VA.

I'm glad VA isn't something they plan to do. I hope it stays that way. I'm curious as to what the changes to the series would be.

Skyward Sword hasn't felt very "open" so far so, if that's any indications to what the future will be like, I'm guessing we'll get a more linear game (by Zelda standards).
