The Golden color has become a tradition since the NES and now there's a strong association between the Gold color and Zelda in the West. The Gold color might have been picked because it is the color of the Triforce which is the centerpiece of the Zelda series.
Now Gold and Zelda just go together like Lime Green and Kawasaki. - http://www.kawasaki-cp.khi.co.jp/msinfo/history/index_e.html
