I know we have a thread on voice acting already, and a thread on "what if Link were not Caucasian", but what if Link were mute?
Maybe Gannon could cast a spell on him at a young age, or maybe he would just have a disease...but in any case, he actually could not talk.
In addition to being sort of progressive, having a disabled main character and all, wouldn't it add an interesting aspect to his character? It would make him more interesting and then you could have a great explanation for keeping Link silent, while all the other players could talk. No, you don't really need an explanation, but it would make him even more heroic, in my mind.
There is nothing that Link could not accomplish as a quester/fighter if he was mute and it would make him more sympathetic...plus, people with disabilities often have even stronger abilities and senses in other areas. I think it could be kind of neat. It would make him even more interesting and endearing.
Thoughts?
