The famous Zelda Fitzgerald was a writers wife. He based a story of her in the story that gave Myamoto the idea for the Legend of Zelda. The scenery of the game was the area he use to play as a child.

ladyrazor (08/21/2012) [-] Well now that explains why in FF9 Zidane was like "Neither a Cloud or a Squall can take you from me." I just thought that it was a reference to the characters when I was younger.

Samus. That's the only name you'll hear. Samus. It means the end and the death. Samus. I am Samus. Samus is all around you. Samus is the man beside you. Samus will gnaw on your bones. Look out! Samus is here.
This is what I immediately thought of when I saw the name Samus. Samus Aran came second.

ningyoaijin (08/17/2012) [-] The first one's bullcrap. Zelda in katakana is Zeruda. Also, Celes is named after the asteroid Ceres, which in Japanese can be romanized either way.
