Much like I doubt any Splatoon movie would be spoken in Inklish, I doubt any Zelda movie will have a mute Link.

Hey everyone, staff have documented a list of banned content and subject matter that we feel are not consistent with site values, and don't make sense to host discussion of on Famiboards. This list (and the relevant reasoning per item) is viewable here.
News Nintendo officially announces live-action Zelda film, produced by Shigeru Miyamoto and Avi Arad, directed by Wes Ball

Link isn't canonically silent, we just don't get to see his dialogue (outside of picking between dialogue options). It's a common video game trope to avoid alienating the player when the protagonist's personality and character isn't at all important to the story. As much as his blank staring in BotW cutscenes became a meme, just about every Zelda game with dialogue since ALttP has NPCs clearly respond to something Link said; we just don't get to know exactly how he phrased it.
The fact that we're not in control of Link in the movie already breaks the illusion hiding his dialogue is meant to maintain, so there's no point in following the games here. That said, I wouldn't be entirely shocked if they keep the quiet, bottled up interpretation of BotW and TotK - as long as it's a good fit for the tone of the movie.

Sony says the Zelda movie is being made in "closest possible collaboration" with Miyamoto
This guys knows a thing or two about Zelda
Didn't see it posted here. This personally doesn't reassure me the slightest. Shiggy is not the right person at Nintendo to supervise this project imo. Should probably have been Koizumi.
