allois-transy:

Remember a few years ago how some autistic kid (like 14 years old) was like “Link is mute like me!” and NTs were obsessed with ‘disproving’ their headcanon and using technical definitions of outdated terms and saying that he couldn’t have mutism and that the headcanons were just “SJW bullshit”

and now in the latest Zelda, we get it confirmed that Link does indeed have selective mutism due to trauma and anxiety

because I will never fucking forget
