Maybe it is just because 'Link' sounds really cool and original?

They were going to call him John, but they didn't like the sound of John : The Hero of Time, or The Legend of Zelda : A John to the Past.

Isn't the "Link" in 'A Link to the Past' the word link, as in a connection, rather than his name, or at least a double meaning? If so, then John wouldn't work.

Oh yeah it was definatley a really difficult game, I can remember some of the puzzles taking me like a week to work out. You should dig out your dusty old SNES and play it again, or if you aint got one get an e******* and the R**.

I would guess for the same reeason Zelda is Zelda and Ganon is Ganon. Either way they are all cool names. If I have a daughter I want to name her Zelda.
