Well, you're just now getting to the first major dungeon, so I can see how you think that. The majority of time you've been in the game has been in the towns. In towns, there are people, and people talk. Monsters don't talk. You kill monsters. By the way, I recommend you save the Tingle Tuner for your second time through the game. Tingle does a lot of talking and unfortunately spoils some puzzles, but he is fun.
