I'm sure most of you have at one point named one of the files on your Zelda game something humorous. For example, in OoT, I always got a kick out of calling my file "Zelda", and then when Link meets Zelda she asks what his name is and then says "Zelda, eh? Sounds familiar." And of course there's the option of naming your file something like "Poop" or "Homo" and reveling in joy when you see it in the dialog. I also named my horse in TP something rather naughty which I will not repeat, which proved to conjure some hilarious one-liners from Ilia, as you can imagine. Has anyone else manipulated the save files, or am I just crazy?
-
I stick with Link and Epona. Though, once, I named Link Deku Boy in Majora's Mask. It was surprising that Tatl already knew his name!
-
I pretty much always put my own name in the files.
"Homo"
>=/
-
I didn't mean nuthin' by it.
-
I named the horse Yoshi in TP.
-
in WW, I know someone who named his file Wienerco
-
The first Legend of Zelda file I ever made was named "Eminem".
-
I can never bear using any names other than Link. It's too weird.
-
There was that time in Ocarina of Time when I named Link "SOMEBODY". It was funny because it sounded like every character was acting like they didn't know Link's name to make fun of him. It worked best with Gannondorf's final lines, when he says "CURSE YOU, SOMEBODY!", because since I used all-caps, it matched his shouting, and also it's funny that he's got such a huge grudge against someone he didn't even bother to learn the name of.

Me too, thought I once jokingly entered his name as "Lunk" instead, and laughed for eons whenever a character mentioned it.
-
I stopped getting a kick out of funny character names back in sixth grade.
Although every now and then I can't resist signing my initials in arcade games as "POO", "PEE", "ASS", "COW", etc.
-
I just use my real name or Link.
Also, "SEX" after getting a high score on Bubble Bobble.
-
I always either enter my name or "Link."
-
Since I usually start a second Zelda file after a year or two, the first time I use "Link" and the second time I use my own name. Other times, I do it the other way around (as in TP, where I also named the horse "Chevy"), but I can't honestly remember if there's any definite pattern to it.
"Homo"

Short for homo sapien! Link's a human, right?
Really, though, I've always visualized the use of the names "Shut Up" or "Idiot".
-
"Sometimes I like to name Link "I Say" because it makes all the other characters talk like Foghorn Leghorn" ~ taken from here (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HelloInsertNameHere).
Anyway, seeing as I haven't really played any Zelda (except for a little bit of LttP), I can't exactly answer this question. However, couldn't it also apply to RPGs such as Pokémon, Earthbound and Chrono Trigger as well?
-

You KNOW that was not what was meant.
Also, Link is NOT human! He's a Hylian.
-
The term is "homo sapiens." Sapiens is singular.
-
Also, in that context, The prefix derives from Latin. the prefix *I* was referring to comes from Greek.
-
"CURSE YOU, ARMax!"
Also:
"CURSE YOU, IGN!"
-

...Which is why I think its weird when the option to un-become a wolf in Twilight Princess reads "Transform into human", or something like that.

[insert random swear word here]
The lol file names are Ganon, Luigi, (and I forget what else)
Once named Epona "Yo Mama"

"Oh... Hi... Ganon.
I washed Yo Mama for you!
Yo Mama's a girl, so you should treat her like one."
-
I name mine Luigi, or Noob, or Gannon.
As as as Epona goes usually somthing stupid like HoRsY or the like
-
I've tried "Zelda", "Link". I never named anyone anything inappropriate for some weird reason but I will.
