Anyway this is from Wikipedia:

"Link does not usually speak, and only produces grunts, yells or similar sounds. One exception is The Wind Waker in which he says "Come on!" to make people or objects follow him. When Link is asked questions, the player answers by choosing options from a list; Link usually does not give any aural or visual indication that he has answered, however he sometimes nods his head in The Wind Waker. Link does speak in the cartoon series and the CD-i games produced by Philips, though these are not canon materials in the series. However, he does "speak" two lines in The Adventure of Link; when he locates a mirror under a table, the text, "I found a mirror under the table" appears on screen, and later on, if he examines a fireplace that he can enter, "Looks like I can get in the fireplace" is displayed."

Yeah, but as that quote states, that isn't canonical.

It and other noncanonical media is arguably "not Zelda". I mean, it's obvious it is, because it has the character. But it's not official and not part of the world, so it kind of isn't. Know what I mean?

all the time link talks. he was supposed to talk completely in tp and they were gunna have voice actors but they where scared people wouldnt like his voice. also there is a pause alot when someone asks a question then they get an answer and are always talking like people do to schnitzel on chowder. "rada rada rada" "whats that? you want to smell my feet?" or sumthin like that.
