I was contemplating that while Link is a bit of an obscure name, it's not completely unused.
I personally don't know anyone named Link in real life.
But from other people, I was wondering two things:
(a) Could it be that you do? Or if you don't know anyone personally, someone you've heard of?
(b) If you do, do you inherently associate the name "Link" with LoZ and thus find it somewhat awkward to know someone of the same name, since the image of a certain hero is linked so strongly to the name in your head?
If you don't know someone personally, then hypothetically do you think you would find it strange? (catch the pun? ^^)
In my head, the name "Link" has an ingrained association with LoZ's famed Link, so I think I would have the problem of picturing the Hero of Time every time the name would be uttered aloud. However, if I were to become good friends with this "Link," I think I would probably learn to dissociate Zelda with the identity of my personal friend.
