I am a new fan to the legend of zelda series. Im zbit hooked on the Twilight Princess game and Ocarina of Time. But i always wonder why the game is named after Zelda. Why don't they call it the Legend of Link? Zelda is barely in the games I've played which is many. But in Twilight princess she's in it like 3 times or something. My opinion is that they should ether change the name, or have Zelda involved in it more.
PEACE!

Coolness, my dear friend, simply just trying to sound cool.
Picture the release of Legend of Zelda on the NES under the name you suggest. Who would play such a lame-sounding game when they could go play Mario Brothers? Such a game would need awesome box art AND a very good description of the back cover, which, of course, were unheard of back then. They had to give it a fancier name to get it to sell, and I guess it's just stuck.
By the way, I'm sure you already know this, but if you don't, PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!--When you see Sheik in Ocarina of Time, you're actually talking to Zelda.
Hozzey
Yo, cheers. I understand now. I also knew that Zelda is Sheik. Super Smash Bros ruined it for me :C
