Should Nintendo Characters talk?

Yes, I realize that the cartoon has nothing to do with the game, and isn't canon in the NES era, or any future era (Fairy companion). But still, that's what he would probably be like if he did talk. Except in Twilight Princess and Ocarina. He'd be like Vin Diesel in them.

Nintendo characters should only talk if they have something meaningful and worthwhile to say. They shouldn't speak just for the sake of speaking. After all, Nintendo builds its success around some of these characters, and something as simple as a bad voice actor could tarnish the series.
Besides I think the characters are more memorable because they don't speak a language we understand.
For instance, the phony italian the bros. speak in the mario and luigi ds games is great.
It's also hard in my opinion to give a voice to a character such as link. link is the representation of all our inner adventurers. Thats why even though we've been essentially going on the same legendary quest these past 20 years, we keep signing up for the next one.
The only reason I can see for giving link a voice is if the series takes a new turn and instead of jumping from 1 dungeon to the next, he spends more time building relationships and interacting with the residents of Hyrule (or wherever destiny takes him).
I'll trust nintendo to do what's best for the characters we all know and love.

Link, Samus and Gordon Freeman should all remain silent protagonists.

I'm fine with them talking; it's not much if they don't.

It would just seem weird for some, and good for others.
Kirby talked in Kirby's Avalanche, but I'd much rather like it if he just said "Hi!" and "Poyo".

Stop confusing Nintendo with Sega. As I said before, Nintendo characters have been speaking long before even their 3D jumps.
Samus? Silent protagonist? Did you not even play Super Metroid? The very beginning of the game is narrated by Samus.
Not to mention "Metroid Fusion", in which Samus actually engages in conversation with her ship's computer.

Not really, no.
Which is a bit ironic if you think about it.

I'm not wasting my time scrolling through the whole topic but didn't he talk in Bowser's Inside Story?

Eh, ragazzo!
I think it depends on the character and the game. For example, I like for the Pokemon trainer and Ness to be relatively silent protagonists. However, I don't mind them saying short phrases in game like Brawl like "PK Thunder!" or "You did it, Charizard!".
One game in which there is tons of voice acting is F-Zero GX (and yes, I mention that game a lot). In the following video, there is a cutscene with dialouge shared between Captain Falcon and Deathborn. Be warned that this video is a spoiler. But if you don't care, then go ahead and watch it.
F-Zero GX Story Mode: Chapter 8 Cutscene
As you can discern, Captain Falcon has an alright speaking voice. However, Deathborn sounds completely awesome.

Bowsers voice in Super Mario Sunshine was atrocious! Nintendo really should of put in text there or found a better voice for Bowser.
