Yep. I basically tried a fan game, but due to a) not being old enough to know what I was doing, and b) having a harddrive fail, I never finished it.
That said, the character - the prince - was a side character; npc like and all. He was something like pre-enlightenment Siddhartha Gautama, though he was meant to go through that "omg poor people are suffering" thing through the game.
I kinda adopted the name for internet stuff, and eventually - since it never happened, I thought my username was too weird, since it sounded like a genderswap on an existing character (she and her father were also side characters, like how Malon is in both
OoT and MC). So I did the Japanese thing and have been waiting until I have the time to start posting again to change my name to something more myself.
But yeah, you're right.
