There’s a question that always comes up when you think of the legend of Zelda

This one in green is the best
no
The name of this character is Link
It’s a character manipulated by a player and can be seen as the main character
Who’s Zelda
image text translation
The name of this female character is Zel
The main character, Link, is the princess she wants to save
But this is where the title comes into question
Link to the main character
The player controls it. Link
It’s a link that makes you a legend
Why is the game title a legend of Zelda, not a legend of Link

If you look at the legendary Zelda series
Except for one piece that was released in the early days as “The Adventures of Link,”
It’s all released under the name of the legend of Zelda
Why on earth is Zelda’s legend, not Link
The reason is that Aonuma Eiji, the legendary producer of Zelda
It can be seen from an interview conducted when visiting Korea to commemorate the launch of the TriForce 2 of the Legend of Zelda
I’m sure you’ve been asked a lot of questions. Have you ever questioned the title of Legend of Zelda
Producer Aonuma
Why is the title the legend of Zelda when the user manipulates the main character is Link
It’s a question that I hear every time I have an interview
The first person to create the legend of Zelda was executive director Shigeru Miyamoto, who is a person with a slightly twisted personality
Laughter
I also said in an interview that I like tricks, but executive director Miyamoto doesn’t like to be straight when he does something
He’s a person who loves to twist it somehow, to make a difference
If the main character is Link and the title is Link’s legend, it’s not fun because it’s just like the game
But I think the trick starts when the link is the main character and the title is the legend of Zelda
That’s more fun. That’s the title of Zelda’s legend
This one
The title is still going on until now
Shigeru Miyamoto actually had an interview about this
I was looking for a word that would go into the legend of OO
He liked the name Zelda that he got to know through suggestions from others, so he decided to do so
Even though the main character’s name was already set as a link, if you find a name that fits the legend of OO
It can be said that he didn’t intend to include the main character’s name in the title from the beginning

To sum it up
Shigeru Miyamoto has a twisted personality
