Cool Zelda Dog Names: Find the Perfect One Now
Okay, here's my take on sharing my experience with "zelda dog names," trying to keep it real and relatable.
Alright, so, "zelda dog names," huh? My wife and I are HUGE Zelda fans, like, we've played every game multiple times. When we finally decided to get a dog, it was obvious we needed to find a Zelda-themed name. So, the search began, a real quest, if you will.
First thing I did? Hit up Google, obviously. Typed in "zelda dog names," and boom, a whole bunch of lists popped up. Started scrolling through them, and honestly, a lot of them were kinda lame. Like, "Link" is too obvious, right? And "Zelda" felt weird for a boy dog. So, I kept digging.
We wanted something cool, but not too obscure. Something that other Zelda fans would recognize, but also something that sounded good yelling it across the dog park. That's a real consideration, trust me.
We actually made a shortlist! I grabbed a notepad (yes, a real one, I'm old school), and we started jotting down ideas. Here's what made the cut initially:
- Navi
- Epona
- Wolf Link (Maybe just Wolf?)
- Midna
- Groose
Okay, so Navi was a contender because, well, everyone knows Navi. But my wife was worried people would get annoyed every time we called him (you know, "HEY! LISTEN!"). Epona is cool, but maybe better for a female dog, and we didn’t know if we were getting a boy or girl yet. Wolf Link was awesome, but maybe a bit too edgy for our taste. Midna was definitely up there, sounded cool and unique. And Groose? It's just a funny name, okay?
After we found out we were getting a boy, Epona and Midna fell off the list. We spent a few days just saying the names out loud, seeing how they felt. "Navi, come here!" "Wolf, no! Don't eat that!" "Groose, drop it!".
In the end, we went with... Wolf!
Yeah, just Wolf. It felt right. It's a nod to Zelda without being too on the nose. Plus, he's a little husky mix, so it kinda fits his look, you know? He's a great dog, and the name suits him perfectly. People who know Zelda always give us a knowing nod when they hear his name, which is pretty cool.
So, that's the story of how we picked our dog's Zelda-inspired name. It was a process, but it was worth it. He's the best boy, and we couldn't imagine calling him anything else.
Oh! And a bonus tip: think about how the name will sound when you're yelling at your dog for chewing your shoes. That's a real test of a good dog name!
