Do you name the character LINK or your own name?

In the Zelda games you get the choice of naming your character? I was wondering what you guys name your character? Do you name him LINK or your own name? Or maybe something completely different.

I prefer naming him Link. I don't know, I just think that's how it should be.

I started playing Ocarina of Time recently, and I completely forgot his name was Link. I named him after a handle I use for most games. I felt after an hour when people weren't referring to him as Link.

Started Ocarina of Time and called him Zora since it was a cool name I'd heard somewhere that year. Realised not too long into the game where I'd heard it. :S

I don't usually call him Link though, even if it's his real name. Usually a different nickname of some sort.

I always leave his name as Link, unless I do another playthrough, in which case then I usually use my own name.

In related news, I named my horse in TP with the name Donkey.

I really like being able to name Epona.

Should've been a poll.

Anyway, Link and Epona.

If it's just me in the room, he ended up with my name. If my brothers or my roommates are around, his name suddenly got a whole lot dirtier.

My own name most of the time. I have although booted up some old copies of the gameboy pocket games and seen full save files with LINK.

Link and Epona.

I usually use the characters "real" names in all games where they have "real" names.

Wow I cant believe with how many people go with Link. I did that for my first play of Links Awakening, cuz his name was in the title! But after that, i realized it was gay to name him Link if Nintendo gives you the option of naming him. So I name him HBK, Bitch, Ass, Jeff. But then I hated that when I would steal, they would just call me thief.

Always Link. That's who he is, and will always be. If they ever change his name I shall be very put out.

I rarely go with default names in video games, except for the Legend of Zelda series. Link is such a bad-ass name, why would anyone want to give him something different?
