The secret pass phrase is, “dealing with a silent protagonist without making him look like an idiot.”
A lot of games give you answer options with most of the time, one of them is the stupid answer, that makes the protagonist at least a troll or an idiot. But i guess they doesn’t mean that.
Zelda games typically didn’t have much dialogue or emotion from Link. I’m the newest open world games he does emote along with the NPCs.
Link also spoke and emoted with other characters in Skyward Sword. Rarely he also did this in Wind Waker and Twilight Princess.
Yeah, you are right. He has grown in his ability to talk. Come to think of it, he would also sometimes react (mostly to horses) in Ocarina.
Whoa whoa
I’m not sure if we really need realistic graphic. The advantage of most jrpg’s is, that we usualy have anime style art. Sure the model get here as well more and more complex, but they doesn’t have to be that detailed as realistic graphic and maybe we don’t want that as well. About the silent protagonist…well i guess i prefer the nto silent one. But if we have one, giving them some kind of character, like joker (persona 5) is something i prefer.
Just make it canon that the protagonist is part of an order of knights or whatever who have taken a vow of silence
