, Link is basically silent throughout every Zelda game, ignoring th💎e "hyaahs" and grunts he makes while moving around. Although a few games imply that he's shy and just doesn't talk much, many fans have theorised and head-canoned that he's mute, something that actually becomes a plot point in Echoes of Wisdom.

Link being canonically mute in Echoes of Wisdom.

One of the main plot points of Echoes of Wisdom is that you finally get to play as Zelda, with Link being dragged into the darkness right at teh beginning of the game. Although Link isn't around much in Echoes of Wisdom as Zelda sets out to ꦦrescue him, we do hear a little about his exploits thanks to the diary of Lueberry, Impa's younger brother.

If you choose to read Lueberry's diary, you'll see an entry that references Link and explains that the rifts take away sometℱhing important from whoever gets 𒆙trapped in them. Hueberry reveals that the thing that was taken away from Link after he was captured was his "ability to speak", finally canonising him being mute in a Zelda game.

All of the kids who were taken by rifts have lost something. For Link꧙, he lost the abil𒁃ity to speak.

While it's true that this is only for Echoes of Wisdom and likely something that's cleared up by the end of the game, it's a nice nod to the characte𓃲r never talking and finally explains it without hand-waving that he speaks whenever players aren't around. and🌳 Tears of the Kingdom suggested that he's just a man of few words, but here there's a reason for his silence.

Here's hoping it's a sign that is willing to have some fun and place more emphasis on Link𝕴 not talking in future The Legend of Zelda games.
