      Serious time: it was never a very good theory. There are clearly dialog options where they zoom over Link expressing complex ideas to someone he just met. Unless you want to assume into existence a sign language that everyone in Hyrule knows, Link can talk just like anyone else.

        The meta reason is that the player is supposed to supply Link’s dialog, since he’s just the player avatar. Your “link” to the game world.

        I actually looked it up to see if they were keeping him mute, didn’t find shit, didn’t mention it
