#even though there is arguably WAY more evidence for mute Mario than there is for mute Link

I don't know if you have ever been asked that before but what are your thoughts on mute/selectively mute Mario? Just curious.

I like it, but I don't have a lot of thoughts on it. There is definitely a lot of evidence to pull from the games to ascribe muteness to Mario, and I do enjoy headcanons and fics that delve into that, but my personal favorite characterizations for Mario come from the Luigi's Mansion series and the Mario Movie, wherein he is quite chatty.
