+433 It should be called the Legend Of Link, not Zelda. I don't call sitting around, waiting to be rescued particularly legendary. amirite?

they seem to like women in the game though, think about it...Its called Legend of Zelda -a girl- there are 3 goddesses who create everything.

They're not really female...more pixelated streaks of light. Admittedly, the great fairies are female, but they look like prostitutes. I'm not making it up, have a look. http://zelda.neoseeker.com/wiki/Great_Fairy

The same reason Sleeping Beauty isn't named after Prince Phillip?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Well I think that's a little different. The story of Sleeping Beauty focuses more on her, how she fell under the curse, all that stuff. The prince just comes riding in at the end and saves her. Sleeping Beauty is the only character in that story who develops and changes by the end. In LoZ, it follows Link. He's the dynamic character in that plot. Zelda is just kind of there to give the adventure purpose, but the entire story is about Link's journey to get the Triforce and kill Ganon and all that cool stuff.

They should make a Zelda game with Zelda/Sheik as the main character. Based on her fighting skills in Super Smash Bros, she could be an even more badass hero than Link.

Sheik was definitely muuuuch better than Zelda in SSB.

When I said "she" I meant "they". But yes, Sheik is the man. Woman. To this day, I'm not sure. They could easily make a game that takes place during Link's Ocarina of Time adventure; what was Sheik doing that whole time besides showing up randomly to give advice? Everyone would buy it.

You have a point; they don't call Super Mario Bros "Super Princess Peach" xD

Though there is indeed a game called "Super Princess Peach." :)

I always thought it was The Legend of ZELDA because she was usually telling the legend in the games. She does in Ocarina of Time anywayz..I can't actually remember for any of the other ones right now hahah The name is definitely confusing though. The first time I ever played OoT I named my character Zelda and then I got to the scene with the princess where it's like "My name is Princess Zelda, what's your name? Zelda? That sounds somehow familiar.." bahah

It's nice to know I'm not the only one who did that...

Doesn't sound right.......

the abbreviation would be L.o.L

It's aslo 'cause princess Zelda is a legend herself, and Link is sent to save that legend.

I was never a fan of L.o.Z though i have two games for the N64 that collect dust. It irked me with the name too.
