The famously mute Link almost spoke in Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom

At one point, Nintendo’s famously silent lead Link was going to have lines of dialogue in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.

The developers noted that traditionally, the lead in a Legend of Zelda game has remained mute, and this typically means Link.

Echoes of Wisdom is not the only Legend of Zelda game to give a reason to Link’s silence.
