What Are One of the Most Random Names You Gave Link in the Games?

I've never given Link wierd names, but my neighbor pretty much typed in some random letters for his name.

On TP I named Link Ganon and I named Epona Rainbows. :xd:
Oh, hi, Ganon. I washed Rainbows for you! You guys were more creative, though.

My first time through any Zelda game, I pretty much always give Link the same name. I used to just call him Link but for a long time now I call him Axle, just because other people in the house I live in play the games and it helps keep our files separate.

Any time I decide to play through again, or do a 3-Heart Challenge or Minimalist Run, though, I have fun with the names.

I've only done this with PH and ST so far, but in PH I named him Kraken, and in ST I named him Cobalt. I picked Kraken because it's a squid-like sea monster, and Cobalt because it has a sound to it that feels like it belongs in Spirit Tracks, so they're not exactly random, but they are still odd. :lol:

Well, when I was REALLY young, I thought that there could only be one Link, and that was my friend (on a different N64 (it was OoT)) so I named myself Link2 for about two years.

lol, my best story about this is from my younger Zelda years. My cousin and I were in a hilarious mood and decided to name Link "Zelda." (To understand this story, you have to know that my cousin and I have a bit of a hate on for Zelda. Yes, i'm part of Random Person's "doesn't like the princess but likes the game" category.) Anyway, we did this out of the sheer hilarity of irony of one sentence. When you go to Hyrule Castle in OoT for the first time and sneak passed the guards to meet Zelda, she has a line roughly "Link...that name sounds somehow familiar." So, upon naming Link "Zelda" she told us how her name sounded familiar. XD

ahem. yes.

Other than that, i can't name him anything other than Link. lol

I, personally, have never named Link anything other than Link. But my friend has named Link, "Yendor" (my friend's father's name backwards) when playing Twilight Princess with me. Epona was, "Pongo."
