Link doesn't often have much distinct personality except for Wind Waker and Skyward Sword. He's usually just the player's link to the world, hence the name. Shoot, even that excellently done fan dub of Skyward Sword doesn't have Link speak until the very very end. So yeah, Link speaking in text or voice doesn't seem to be in high demand. Even less so then VA actually, I'd warrant.

Don't worry, I'm not saying that you were, and I'm not even saying that they aren't the majority. I'm just pointing out that I wouldn't at all be suprised that the voices of a passionate few do not accurately portray the oppinions of the masses.
I've never believed that Link hasn't had a personality. He's had one in every console game. I'd agree that his most likable and most relatable encarnations were with Wind Waker and Skyward Sword, but stoisism is still a personality trait, and it's a distinct one. The only Zelda two games where Link is absolutely without any discernable personality are in Zelda 1 and 2, and call me crazy for giving those two the benefit of the doubt.
