I don't think it would work all that well as a running joke.  I don't trust folks to do it subtly.  It would get annoying as fuck if they were cracking too many jokes about "what do you have to say on the matter Link" and "ohhh the strong silent type" and that type of shit. I wouldn't mind if they went with like non-word noises and body language though.

Maybe get a Morgan Freeman type narrator to explain what Link is probably thinking or talking to folks about.  Or say stuff like "Now he must have felt scared and very alone there, on the top of Death Mountain, but Link, well, he did t let that stop him."

The narration idea sounds good, instead of showing him speak it would be through narration of what he is saying. I just don't want another LoZ cartoon moment.
