Upon starting a new game, you'll be prompted to enter your name. This name will be used for Link throughout your adventure. While there isn't extensive character customization in terms of appearance, choosing a name is a classic Zelda tradition.
The game allows for a maximum of 5 characters for your name. You can use letters, numbers, and a few special symbols. Once confirmed, this name cannot be changed, so choose wisely! The name you select will appear in dialogue boxes and on your save file. While it doesn't impact gameplay, it adds a personal touch to your journey through Hyrule. Take a moment to decide on a name that resonates with you, as it will be how the citizens of Hyrule refer to their hero.
