I just don't get why silent protagonist's are still a thing in video games!

Bloodborne, Dark Souls, Elder Scrolls, Zelda, Shadow of the Colossus, Chrono Trigger... just to name a few silent protagonists.. all superb games.

I just finished this for the second time last week, and the protagonist is NOT silent, lol

I've beaten it a number of times, maybe a dozen?  One of my all time favorite games.  There is a bit of story in the beginning (with brief talking), and Wander calls for Aguro (much like Link whistling for Epona).  Outside the introduction, Wander says next to nothing.  He is mostly silent, as in for 95% of the game.  IMHO, he fits the silent propagandist quite well.
