Zelda is the princess, not the hero?!

[JEDI]

just started playing my 1st Zelda game:
Zelda Spirit Tracks

Link is the hero. WTFBBQ?

Why name the game after the princess?

It's like naming a game Peach instead of Mario. (Super Princess Peach anyone?)


Doh

Welcome to....
ah, forget it.

The game's name is: The Legend of Zelda. Zelda is an important figure in all these legends, an important political figure who has to be defended to save the land of all evils.

If it were just called "Zelda", it would be different, and arguable.

Why do you think the hero is named Link.

Its a metaphor. Zelda is named correctly for people that arnt &^%*^$.

There were a couple of games that had Princess Zelda as the hero... games that shall never be spoken of again.
