Zelda why link doesnt talk

Much like Princess Zelda did, it has been easy for fans to assume all these years that Link is a stoic and emotionless character. This diary entry changes that. Victoria is a freelance writer from the UK with a love of good games, bad films and buffet breakfasts.

Affectionately known as Lady V, when she tells people she writes about gaming news, they assume she is talking about pheasants and shotguns. She is not.

Link will look at enemies, actually furrow his brow at points, smile after defeating a mini-boss, and straight up speaks during gameplay. Skyward Sword follows suit in this regard, but it notably features more instances of Link pantomiming with characters most notably through his scenes with Groose.

Beyond this, however, Skyward Sword features actual dialogue options for Link. Not only does Link always have three options when dialogue trees come up, they vary in tone.

While it may be tucked away in Breath of the Wild 's in-game books, it's certainly interesting to see Zelda characters speak so candidly regarding Link's silence and the way they perceive their interactions with him.

However, all of this really only applies to this game's version of the hero. After all, just about every single incarnation of Link had a unique path to becoming Hyrule's protector, with no two quite the same.

Still, the fact that Breath of the Wild 's team was able to take one of the character's intrinsic traits and give it a genuinely interesting explanation when they really didn't have to is certainly praiseworthy. Most players are more willing to accept that Link is silent just because he is. However, in keeping with the Breath of the Wild 's theme of uncovering the story as you explore, there's a little extra depth to Link's character waiting to be found by those willing to look.
