Zelda was named after the famous Zelda Fitzgerald to honour her out of respect.


Link is only named Link by default as Link is supposed to be linked to the person playing the game or something and was maybe one of the first games to let you name your character since it could save with the battery,so his name was not Link really unless you left it as Link.
Why often you see he is recalled as "Hero" in opening cut scenes in some games and not as Link.

Besides the exception of the second game.

 

Also the ones with out Zelda in it,well that is just for instant regocnition to the series for sales.

Most people nammed him Zelda.
