Should The Legend of Zelda's 'Link' ever speak any words?

Why do Nintendo fans ask so many questions?

I love Nintendo too, but I was gonna make a thread about this the other day. All the Nintendo threads on the front page are usually questions, and pretty weird ones at that. It reeks of insecurity... seeking approval where none exists and so on..

I wouldn't say that persay, rather, that Nintendo fans actually like to have something to discuss and talk about, rather than something like "OMG, FPS #496 is announced!" News is actually harder to have a conversation about than a question for discussion.

Anyway, the actual topic at hand. I also don't really want Link to talk any more than he already has. For me, talking removes a level of immersion of the game. When everyone has scripted dialogue, it feels like one step closer to a movie. Conversely, having your main character mute means that you can think of something you might want him to say. It doesn't happen often, but there are times I want to scream "No, bad idea!", but the character in the game says "Sure, let's go off to nearly die for no reason!" That's when I know that the character isn't me, or any pseudo-personification of me.
