Gotham does NOT work without Batman.  I've tried getting into it a few times, but I just find it boring.  I want to see the real hero behind the mythos. It won't be a Legend of Zelda show without Link.  Even though his name is usually not even in the title of his games, the series is definitely about him.
TV producers LOVE to create shows based on properties, onky with main character taken out. Like Smallville was Superman without Superman, and they're even doing it again with Krypton show.

Smallville still had Clark Kent as the main character, and he used his super-powers to fight baddies... It definitely still starred Superman, he just didn't call himself that yet.

Also, Link is no more "an avatar for the player" than the playable character in most other games.  Just because he doesn't talk outright doesn't mean that he doesn't have defined characteristics of his own. Actions speak louder than words - We know who Link is, and he isn't really us. We can see from his reactions what makes his happy, scared, surprised, angry, ect.  His is courageous (obviously), selfless, helpful, curious, and honorable.  He is also is just slightly mischievous, with little regard for others small, breakable, personal objects.

Let Link speak! He obviously DOES have his own voice (even if we rarely hear it).  I'm not saying they should make him a goofy chatter-box, because part of his character is the strong-and-silent type.  But "strong-and-silent" =/= mute.

And please God, no live-action Tingle!  He is awkward enough to encounter in a cartoon-y videogame, he would be downright disturbing in live-action.
