If he doesn't want to be called outdated, yes.

Speaking vs. non-speaking isn't really something that has to do with whether or not one of those is outmoded, or even older than the other

In this day unless you're playing a character you created it is well past the point that they should be speaking.  If some people don't want that they should include an option to silence voices, many game already do.  Simply not including them at allt hough, out of date.

But characters speaking - not voiced casts - isn't a linear progression. I mean, the hero of the first Dragon Quest game had several spoken lines. Gordon Freeman continues the silent protagonist mode.

Now if you're saying the casts should be voiced, that's one thing

But saying that Link, specifically, should be voiced rather than silent as a matter of progress is fallacious
