Update

Nintendo World Report's Neal Ronaghan says he heard similar stuff from multiple sources. It might be worth mentioning in the OP.

[Nbz]

GET ON THE TRAIN

 

[Turkoop]

E3 is getting really interesting.

 

[brandonh83]

Whoa.

That would be fantastic.

 

[cireza]

Ok.

 

[SuicidalSteve]

Hey, listen!

 

[Broken Joystick]

Christopher Walken as Ganondorf please

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Ima g snatch that image thanks Nible

 

[LightOfTruth]

That'll be a huge step forward for the franchise.

 

[James Scott]

Was hoping for Voice acting so that's cool.
I wonder if they worked on the female Link after the delay.

 

[opticalmace]

I am okay with this.

 

[Neol]

I would say its coming to NX was inevitable.

Not sure how I feel about the characters having VA's but as long as Link is silent I think it'll work out.

 

[XenodudeX]

Hey thats a nice compromise if true. I like that.

 

[Dark Cloud]

These three rumors are exactly what most people were asking to see from Zelda. It's so great to see Red and White Nintendo is back and they listen to fans!

Please now show me the game!

 

[LostMyNarbles]

Yes I'd like one ticket to the "hype train". Thank you.

 

[GalacticMouse]

This is all pretty exciting!

On a sidenote, I've heard Emily Rogers' name before, but how reliable is she?

 

[nynt9]

I'm glad Link doesn't have voice acting.

 

[dancrane212]

All three of those points sound great. Would be A+ if all were true.

 

[Hot Coldman]

please don't be Linkle

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Female Link

Female LINK

LINK

QUEEN

 

[rjinaz]

Stating to get excited about a Zelda game! Been a while for me.

 

[Killer Queen]

Id get an NX for this

 

[DorkyMohr]

Now there's just the question of if it's still hitting this year or not.

 

[Guess Who]

All of this sounds baller.

 

[Razzorn34]

After the whole NX controller thing, I don't believe jack. I need more proof than this.

Yes, I know who she is, but words aren't enough.

 

[friskykillface]

#1 lol who didn't think this would release on NX? waste all that overworld and time for a wii u title?

#2 an ex of mine wanted the main character to at least be female or have an option so thats good to have

#3 voice acting should have been standard for NPCs, they can only have so many lines, its about time

bring on E3

 

[Kouichi]

Those are both the things I wanted more than anything in Zelda, so I really hope it's true.

 

[OranSky]

Sorry but this just sounds like more of a wish list to me.

 

[Moaradin]

I'm totally ok with everyone but Link having VO.

 

[Xamtheking]

please don't be Linkle

Present Zelda has to save Future Zelda from Past Ganondorf

 

[Blood Diamonds]

holy. shit.

who do i pray to so that these rumors are true

 

[James Scott]

I hope they don't use Linkle. She's a Koei OC character and I think EAD can make a better design

 

[dottme]

Was hoping for Voice acting so that's cool.
I wonder if they worked on the female Link after the delay.

She is not saying a female Link but a female or male character.
It might be Link and Linkle too.

 

[udivision]

I think this is the best compromise.

 

[watershed]

Can't wait. I'm sure there's even more changes to the Zelda formula.

 

[brandonh83]

If I can play as a female Link, I will Mary Sue the fuck out of those puzzles and bosses.

 

[GhostTrick]

Hope we can disable voice acting. At least its not for Link !
Also, definitely going for female Link

 

[boynl]

I hope They will release Zelda this year in the NX

 

[mrmickfran]

VAs for NPCs are fine just as long as Link doesn't speak.

The only problem now is there will probably be a bigger gap in between the Japanese and Western release.

 

[Litri]

Ok, this is DOPE HYPE.

 

[Unison]

Will Zelda swap genders based on your Link choice?

 

[Kyne]

nothing stops this train.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

I so hope this is true omg

I'll legit perish

 

[studyguy]

Female Link will end up more popular, end up its own deal down the road. I can see it now. Also weird fanfic spinning out of this forever.

 

[qatak]

oh god there's going to be so much weird fan art of male and female Link on deviantart

 

[AmyS]

HYPE!

 

[Deku Tree]

HYPE

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Will Zelda swap genders based on your Link choice?

Why would they?

oh god there's going to be so much weird fan art of male and female Link on deviantart

Going to be?

 

[VelocityXCI]

I can get on board with the voice acting if it's good and can be turned off but choosing between male and female I don't like. That's not because I have anything against the character being a girl but it needs to be either or and not a choice.

 

[Ydelnae]

The only surprising bit is that you can choose between male and female Link, voice acting and NX version were a given imo. And taking a look at Nintendo's latest efforts to offer both male and female representation, this isn't that shocking, neither.
