General Zelda What Do You Name Your Character?

[HeroOfTime]

What do you usually name your character in Zelda games? I ALWAYS go with "Link" (cuz that's his name!!), but whattabout the rest of you?

 

[Terminus]

Generally always link, although for extra slots I'll pick a hero of legend, such as Beowulf.

For my LP of Ocarina, I went with "Lonk."

 

[Salem]

Usually my own name, sometimes I use something funny like "I farted", try playing Oot with that name.

 

[Fraxinus]

Either "Link" or "Blue" for the most part, though really, really, old save files have him named after myself. There are a few exceptions but they're usually for, like, additional playthoughs that no one cares about. Yeah. For instance, I started replaying Phantom Hourglass last week (I think it was last week...? I got distracted, whoops) and named him "Ebola" just because.

 

[HeroOfTime]

What's OoY?

 

[Salem]

What's OoY?

I meant OoT ,sorry, my bad.

 

[HeroOfTime]

That makes so much more sense lol

 

[Fraxinus]

What's OoY?

Oracle of Yakuza

 

[Heroine of Winds]

I always name him Link since that's his actual name.

 

[Doc]

I use my own name except for when I play Majoras Mask. You cannot put in a save slot "Ben" without being a bit paranoid....

 

[HeroOfTime]

...lol

 

[TatlTails]

When I was a little kid, I used my name because I didn't realize the green hero kid had his own name. Once I realized he did, I started naming him Link. Only recently have I begun naming Links after OCs they remind me of. Wind Waker is Dagger, OoT/MM is Luke, Spirit Tracks is Thanatos.

Oh, and I also named my latest TP file Ravio, and the horse Sheerow.

 

[Mercedes]

Usually Link, but nowadays it's always **** Me. Ever since watching Zero Punctuation's review when he mentioned doing it and getting enjoyment out of Navi shouting "**** me it's cold in here" I've done it myself and it really does add a comedic effect to the game. Hash tag worth.

 

[Seth]

As a kid I used to do my own name, but now it's always Link. I almost never rename characters, games like Elder Scrolls are the only kind where I bother thinking up names.

 

[Azure Sage]

These days, it's always either Link or Azure. I used to be obsessed with the name Alphonse so I would name him that a lot, too, but I haven't done that in a while. I really love the name Azure, and I use it as a character name for pretty much any game I play with a naming option, The Legend of Zelda included.
