Well excuuuuuse me, princess!
I’m so hungry, I could eat a whole octorock.
oh, that’s why he’s mute forever. they tried once, and they’re never going back.
Serious time: it was never a very good theory. There are clearly dialog options where they zoom over Link expressing complex ideas to someone he just met. Unless you want to assume into existence a sign language that everyone in Hyrule knows, Link can talk just like anyone else.
I always thought it was a small joke that saved a lot of space and time. Why have/show link explain things fully to an npc when the player already knows what’s going to be explained? Just do the … thing and pretend link gave a five sentence summary and now we can move on faster.
Which is what silent protagonists should ideally be used for; as fallout 4 showed when it did a voiced protagonist and resulted in the amount of dialogue options tanking and basically completely ruined the possibility for mods that add new dialogue.
The meta reason is that the player is supposed to supply Link’s dialog, since he’s just the player avatar. Your “link” to the game world.
Link is goals for literally every conceivable permutation of genders and sexualities.
whats it have to do with gender or sexuality i just want a closet that deep. so many clothes.
