ELI5: Why do they call it Legend Of Zelda and not Legend Of Link?
gpt
Because you are Link, and his name is whatever you put for him. His name doesn't matter, and for all the games history knows his name changes from game to game. The one constant is Zelda because after the first Zelda was cursed to sleep forever the king decreed, "So that this tragedy would never be forgotten, he ordered every female child born into the royal household should be given the name Zelda.". Skyward Sword changes this a bit, but you still have all the female children being named after the first one. So since the royal bloodline seems to be the keeper of the Triforce of wisdom, and it presents itself only in the women, you get the Legend of Zelda's.
