    You're going to get a lot of flak for calling Link, Zelda. 
     
    At least the LoZ series has a more substantial story than the Mario games.

    Link?? That doesn't make sense, the game is called Legend of Zelda? Legend of Link? I'm confused.

    What, no Majora's Mask love?  Come on, what is cooler than saving the world from the moon falling on it.
     
    Though I guess technically you were saving Zelda there, but not on purpose!

    So I still haven't gotten a straight answer as to why Zelda doesn't just let the princess die, it would be so much easier.

    If you mean you're tired of Link saving Zelda I kinda agree, Zelda joining you in Spirit Tracks was refreshing.
    In Mario games however I don't mind, "Mario saves the princess forever"
