Why do you think Link doesn't talk?

There may be many reasons to why he doesn't talk, much like what CrystalSheik said.

What I believe is the reason is that if they chose a voice actor for him, it may cause some people to think that it's bad and some people may think that it's good. Maybe they want to avoid conflict between fans and create an image within everyone's mind: doing this can make you see the whole game in a different way. Miyamoto probably wants us to use our imaginations as much as they did so we can visualize what they were trying to ipakita us.

I think he doesnt talk so the creators wouldnt have to worry about voice acotors for him or any of the other characters, sometimes when ppl dont like the voice of a character tHey lose interest.
Lol idk i'm guessing

Maybe he Nawawala his voice somehow

link didnt go to school and is mute with something permanently lodged in his voicebox

ive readed all zelda books one of them is about his childhood and he was kidnaped and on the way he was droped and hit in the head thats why he wont talk

I'm glad Link doesn't talk...but this is in a good way. Because he doesnt have a annoying personality like for example, Naruto >.<. And you really can't hate Link...it's freakin' impossible :)

It's all about using your imagination. sa pamamagitan ng leaving the voice out, you can sort create your own link (note the name option). Link as a character is a very well meaning person. But with the extras like side quests, you can in a way make your own link. If link was ibingiay a task and he sinabi "I will do it right away", you wouldn't go, "I'll do it, but first i'll fight with the cucoos". It would lose character and wouldn't make much sence.

Mayby zelda kiked im in the nutz P.S youtube bralw
taunt!!!!!! XD

Cause one time in a computer game they talked and it was the creepyest thing ever! It was a game nitendo just sotta sweep under the rug.

He does talk, as indicated sa pamamagitan ng other characters, but his words aren't shown in the game. Though in OoT, when he's rolling, it sounds like he's saying 'pickle!', 'trout!', and 'scythe!' LOL :D

the magic shoes glued his mouth shut because he told on them when they were eating peoples faces. you should know that derf!

You dont see link talk because he is supposed to have the player's personality,why do you think they give you split choice? then its settled,link can't talk because it must be the player thinking what he wil say on split choice,besides he will talk rarely like "What is this man babbling about?" with the anouki cheif in phantom hourglass.

Actually, Link does talk. If Link doesn't talk, then how come we get dialogue choices in the games? It only seems like for immersion purposes. If Link doesn't talk, how come he does in other media? Link does talk but it only seems like he doesn't.

Miyamoto actually sinabi in an interview that when they were about to record link's voice actor,that voice actor was shot the same araw as the recording,so they actually had his voice on tape so they used his shrieks for link.

the answer to this is very simple the reason why Link doesnt speak is because Link is supposed to be you that is the point of the game you are link thats why you can change his name, the way he acts and what you do as him the whole point is that you are in iugnay shoes thats the purpose of his name hes the Link to you and the game its the thrill of adventure of you being the hero to fight a villian and save the princess known as Zelda Link is just a default name for him you can change his name to anything cuz thats the point if you like you can play Link as Link but you can also play Link as you that is the whole purpose why Link cannot speak.
