Link – Legend of Zelda Series
Another classic silent protagonist, Link is practically eternally silent save for a few grunts here and there. Breaking and smashing pots is hard work.
Many Links have come and gone throughout Hylian history and each and every one of them has spoken a total of zero words. It’s one of the common elements in every Zelda game.
Some would call Link’s perpetual silence charming and others would call it lazy writing. Regardless, it has become a staple in the Legend of Zelda Series. It’s gotten to the point where it is entirely unsurprising when the next incarnation of Link doesn’t speak at all.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that Link is any less of a protagonist and each Link journeys through his game with a smile and a desire to take out any pot he comes across.
