Line 42:
** In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'' Link has no recorded dialogue, but does have scripted statements chosen by the player while addressing NPCs, most of them brief. He can even sneak up on one and shout "BOO!" if the player desires.
*** ''Breath'' actually gives an explanation for Link’s silence, [[Gameplay and Story Integration]] making him [[The Silent Bob]] as well. Supposedly, he was far more talkative as a child, but once he realized his calling and the heavy burden placed upon him, he felt remaining silent and stoic was the best way to put up a strong front while facing his foes.
*** [[Word of God]] has also stated that Link's silence and his androgynous appearance in this era of games is done so the player can identify with him (as the player's avatar) making it easier to relate to him and become more immersed in the story.
** Quite possibly the biggest reason for the failure of ''[[The Legend of Zelda (animation)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' cartoon was because fans liked Link ''much'' better when he ''didn't'' talk.
* ''[[Cave Story]]'' and its silent robot protagonist, {{spoiler|Quote}}.
** Inverted in the [[Wii Ware]] port: {{spoiler|Curly Story gives Curly Brace several lines where Quote had none previously. Quote is still mostly mute (scenes involving him have Curly speak for him), except for one situation in the Plantation; performing a sidequest required to access the [[Bonus Level of Hell]] actually gives Quote a couple of lines.}}
