I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

IDK I've met a lot of people who don't play video games at all young to old, who thought Zelda was the main character.
If I were to say "no that's Link" they'd say they never heard of Link, who the fuck is Link. And it would spiral into a loop where I'd have to explain it again and they'd have a lot of trouble believing it or just stop caring.
I think it goes with if you see a box or game title with "ZELDA" on it, you naturally assume the main character is than called Zelda. Honestly some people don't care to look beyond that.
