Why did Link sleep for 100 years?

Link slept for 100 years in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild because he sustained near-fatal injuries fighting Calamity Ganon and was placed in the Shrine of Resurrection for a "Slumber of Restoration" to heal, a process that also wiped his memory. Princess Zelda ordered this stasis for his recovery and to prevent aging, allowing him to awaken later, stronger, to fulfill his destiny after Ganon broke free, with Zelda holding Ganon at bay for the century.

Is Link canonically mute?

No, Link is not canonically mute; he can speak, but his dialogue is usually implied or chosen by the player for immersion, though recent games like Echoes of Wisdom give a specific lore reason: a traumatic experience in a rift stole his voice, explaining his selective silence and occasional grunts. Nintendo intends for players to project themselves onto Link, making him a relatable avatar, hence the lack of voice acting and showing his speech through others' reactions or dialogue options.

What is the hardest Zelda game to play?

Other contenders for difficulty include the original The Legend of Zelda (for its obscurity and combat) and Majora's Mask (for its time limits and complex dungeons like the Great Bay Temple), while Breath of the Wild becomes extremely challenging in its optional Trial of the Sword DLC.
