Link is known to be a man of few words. In this case, it is completely true.
He has been mute since he was very little, no one knows why. As you can probably expect, other people his age are rather vocal, especially about him not being so.
Zelda sees through it. She takes a look further to see who is behind all of the silence, but it doesn't work out how she expected it to. She doesn't only find a friend.
