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.
The Legend of Zelda
Nintendo's flagship fantasy action-adventure series created by Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka in 1985, the Zelda series is the source of many revolutionary gameplay conventions, and continues to be one of the most popular and critically acclaimed video game franchises of all time.
Do you name the character LINK or your own name?

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.
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.
Actually generally I just name him my name. Never thought about that actually. But saying that I don't play Zelda often.
Ha! I never actually thought of that. I'd usually name him Link without thinking about it. Great Question.
I only name the character i'm playing as in games if he doesn't have a name to begin with..
Funny story, i have a friend who named Cloud in FF7 after himself and then named Aerith after some girl he had a crush on.. i was silently mortified, to say the least.
gotta be LINK !! i won't even use the Zelda code in the original to get the second quest... gotta earn that shit!
