I mean Link does everything and gets no credit at all.At least Mario gets a kiss.Link is just remember as some kid who saved the day.And then he is forgot like on Wind Waker.Plus you can even create a new name instead of Link :( how cruel is that? What does Zelda does?I have not seen her in most of the games I played.

This are the one´s I played.

Original zelda:She appears in the end.

Ocarina:She appears as Sheik throughout the game.

Minish Cap:I can´t really remember her at all.I only remember a talking hat :/

Phantom hourglass:She appears as tetra briefly.That is all I remember.

Link's name has been in two titles. He doesn't not get credit.

The Legend revolves around the two characters, Link and Zelda. Historically, the Legends ultimately are about a Hero having to save the world... by rescuing the Princess in some vague way. Zelda is always the key to saving the world, even if Link is the one that does the saving.

That's why.

Since they let you change his name, it wouldn't have made sense to call it the legend of link, now would it?

brute said: Since they let you change his name, it wouldn't have made sense to call it the legend of link, now would it?

They should not let you do that :P

Its her Legend. Link is just the hero.

This does not make sense it is Link´s Legend.

Also I think it was in Zelda 2 where they same all the girls from the roayl family will be named Zelda, but Link is only the legendary hero, the other ones have different names that you decide, so that's why it's called the Legend of Zelda.

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.
