I kind of prefer there not be a name. Extra titles and names sort of open the door to a whole lot of other negative things that have a way of turning some people off to the idea because they don't want to be associated with the weirdos that take things a bit too far. Sometimes that title becomes synonymous with the ones who always take it ind of far. Like the people who have no ability to separate their fandom from reality like always wearing costumes for every occasion in public, or the people who make porn adaptations not as a parody.

Trekkies got it so bad they even got a documentary made about them. And I always thought transformer fans had a fairly unfortunate name.

Yeah, this is true. I agree, I kind of like how there is no name for Zelda fans.

I really like Zeldians! lol! Sounds so much like Hylians! lol! Rhymes very much with Indians! lol! :)

*Breaks into rap song*

Zeldies... wtf. Yeah Idk.

Maybe we can all get elf ears and go around actually calling ourselves Hylians?

lol! I won't have to worry about getting fake elf ears since I already have real elf ears! No joke! I can even show pictures proving that I'm not kidding! :)

I've actually heard of "Zeldork" before, and I don't think it was used in a positive connotation. I say we take back the word. Only we would be able to say Zeldork to each other, and if anyone else uses it, we beat them up.

But seriously ... I just usually refer to myself as a "Zelda Aficionado".

Fairies!! (nope) Hylians!!

Gotta protect the food supply too, right?
