Uh, it would be nice if you added some information like

What does he talk about exactly?
What is REALLY important in this speech?
And why should we watch the video?

And for those who don't know who Euji Aonuma is, you could also say who he is actually.

Ah, k.

Fully orchestrated music in a Zelda game would rock. Hopefully Koji Kondo can get acces to such for the next Zelda game.

Even Paper Mario had orchastrated music, I don't see why they can't do it with Zelda.

Voice acting is a must nowadays in my opinion, there's no reason why Zelda shouldn't have voice actng. And don't give me that "omfg but i want link 2 haev my naem so i feel liek im him!!!11". If you want to feel like the main character, play an RPG like Morrowind where you can create your own character. When I play Zelda I've never once felt like I was Link. And are girl gamers going to feel like they're Link? :/ Lack of voice acting, in my opinion, is just Nintendo wanting to save money.

I suppose you could look at it this way, No voice acting sorta ruins the possiblility of BAD voice acting. *coughcd-icough*

But great voice acting can make a game so much better. I guarentie I would of cryed during one scene in Paper Mario if it had voice acting.

As long as we don't have sonic/FFX voice acting, I'd love it.

sides, Zelda could always do what ffx cleverly did and never mention the main character by name.

You realise that pretty much every RPG with voice acting does that right? In Oblivion you're always called "Hero" or "Citizen" or "Thief" and the like.

They didn't do that in FFX...

they just worded the dialouge to where none of the characters ever mention him by name.

...You just said they did.

I never said they called him "hero" or whatever.

They don't call him anything.

I think the most specific thing they ever called him was "Hey you!"

Wha..? Are you sure there are orchestral pieces in Paper Mario? To me it all sounded like it was done with moog and synth, which uh, isn't orchestrated. Orchestrated usually refers to non-keyboard generated string, brass, and woodwind sections, which unless I'm blanking out I don't remember Paper Mario 2 having...

I'm also really neutral on the whole voice acting for Zelda hullabaloo...if Nintendo continues with making the game heavily cinematic and Lord Of The Rings inspired, than I don't see voice acting being that big of a stretch. But voice acting in something like Phantom Hourglass (or Paper Mario) could result in the next Billy Hatcher.

I think the final boss in Paper Mario has orcastrated music.

Quote of truth.

I want everyone but Link to have voice acting.

You know how Midna talked? She talked Hyrulian. How come no one else talked in the game? Every character but Midna felt dead in the game. I want every character to speak Hyrulian! JUST HAVE SOME SOUNDS FOR THEM.

That's actually a pretty good idea.
