 It's time yet again for the Video Game Storytime Advent Calendar, in which we give you a tiny piece of trivia that you probably already know and pretend we've done you a favour. Have you ever wondered why The Legend of Zelda is called The Legend of Zelda? It's well known that Princess Zelda is named after Zelda Fitzgerald, but apparently the name of the game came before the princess was created. According to Shigeru Miyamoto, of course, the title of the game wasn't decided from the beginning. I knew I wanted it to be The Legend of Something, but I had a hard time figuring out what that something was going to be. That's when the PR planner said, why don't you make a storybook for this game? He suggested an illustrator's story where Link rescues a princess who was a timeless beauty with classic appeal and mentioned, there's a famous American author whose wife's name is Zelda. How about giving that name to the Eternal Beauty? I couldn't really get behind the book idea, but I really liked the name Zelda. I asked him if I could use it, and he said that would be fine, and that's where the title The Legend of Zelda was born. It's kind of a shame that this storybook never saw the light of day, but then you would expect us to be pro-storybooks, wouldn't you? Join us tomorrow to waste another minute of your life on meaningless nonsense as we explore why Persona 5 is set in Tokyo, instead of being a jet-setting backpack tour of the world, as was initially envisioned. Envej-envejant. Envejant. Envejant? Envejant? Envejant?
