EDIT: This isn't me wishing Link "had a personality". He does. This is just me wondering what his personality would be like in different games if he was more verbal. Not wishing he would, just saying what if.
Link is known for being the silent hero, but what if he did have a voice? I thought of a few of them, feel free to agree/disagree with mine or make up one for another game!
Let's start with the best one, Twilight Princess:
Growing up in a small ranch town, Link is laid back and easygoing. Spending time with the kids has given him a preserved sense of childlike curiosity. He talks with a slight drawl, and is pleasant to spend time with.
(I realized this actually sounds like me lol)
Ocarina of Time:
Having grown up with the Kokiri, but never having fit in, plus Mido's bullying, has led to Young Link being very shy and withdrawn. When he does speak, it's quietly and uncertainly.
After sleeping for 7 years in the Temple of Time, his shyness stays but when he speaks it's with set resolve.
Majora's Mask:
After being sent back to live his childhood, Link has much more confidence to stand up to Mido and the Kokiri. In fact, he is a bit of a swaggering bully himself when he goes in search of Navi.
Wind Waker:
Link never stops asking questions. His voice is still childlike, but is beginning the descent into a man's deep voice.
There's more I might put in later, and depending on where the discussion goes.
