That basicly sums it up. The main character is not Beedle the Bard, but of his version of the story.

Its basicly Zelda telling the story of Link and his adventures. I mean, he cant go around telling his tales, hes far to busy! but Zelda has time...

I'm not sure why the games are called Zelda when the main character that you play and get attached to is Link...

It's weird.
