In a recent Game Informer interview, Nintendo legends Shigeru Miyamoto and Eiji Aonuma were asked 51 questions (and gave 51 answers) about The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild.

One of them was the burning question of many Zelda fans; does Link have a last name? And the answer is... (drum roll please)... Link! Yes, our green tunic-clad, pointy-eared protagonist is called Link Link. Miyamoto says it's because Link is not human (*gasp!* ). And oh, it's same with Mario (it's-a me, Mario Mario!).

Check out the full 4 minute interview below, it's pretty fun, with several trivia revealed by two of the gaming industry's legends:

Nah. I'm calling Red Blue. Blue full name is Bllue Green, and Green full name is Green Red.

I get so many Zelda jokes from my last name (no seriously my last name is Link)
