If The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is special for something, beyond its obvious quality, it is because it is the first adventure in the franchise. Nintendo in which the princess is the absolute protagonist. Link has been kidnapped by an evil power, so it’s up to Zelda to rescue him from the clutches of evil.
Despite the change of roles, there are customs that never change, and one of them is that the Hylian does not utter a single word throughout the entire work. He barely manages to make a guttural sound, but he does not express himself like any other inhabitant of the fantasy world. However, this time there is an explanation for this behavior.
For this we must go to Luebery’s housein the southern part of the map, which we can access after solving the first dungeon. Down there we will find his diary, of which we can read several pages, and it is in the second where we will find the following information:
“A monster was about to attack me in the forest, when a brave young man named Link appeared to help me. The residents of the Sudelia village say that Link is part of a group of children who vanished, but came back to tell the story. It’s incredible! that there are cases of vanished people who have returned to our world!
Those children who returned from the breach were no longer the same, and Link seemed to have been left speechless. However, despite having gone through such an ordeal, he fights for others. Your courage has impressed me greatly! Then I knew! This brave young man was the perfect candidate to wield the Sword of Power of my creation! I think I will be able to help you on your journey, so tomorrow I will return to Sudelia village.”
Therefore, we can blame the cracks spread throughout The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom It’s the fault that the character doesn’t say a word in the entire title. Nintendo has opted for a plot explanation for Link not speaking, so, for once, we have a clear answer to his muteness.
