Quote from Link (on Zelda Universe)Has anyone ever noticed any relevance of teh character's names in the Zelda series? There are web-sites that can tell you the meanings of names. Lets try a few. Left of the semi-colon is meaning. To teh right of it is it's origin.
Link: Left Hand; German.
So Link's anme means Left hand. Well, he IS left handed, isn't he?Zelda: Luck; Yiddish. / N/A; German.
Zelda is supposedly also German, but it's meaning is unknown. In Yiddish, (How many of you have heard of that language?) it means Luck or Lucky one,Ganon/Gannon: Fair-haired;Gaelic.
Fair haired? I don't think so! His natural hair color is blood red?! (Or...is it?)So, relevant to the games, or not? I'll post more names later. I got my info from 20,000 Baby Names, Meanings and Origins at Baby Names World
Interesting....
