"There's a reason Link always dresses in green."
Celtic mythology is slightly different to its Greek, Norse, and Egyptian counterparts. Although there are deities in the Celtic pantheon, the folktales passed down through the ages are more concerned with heroes and heroines than gods and monsters. Consider the Arthurian canon, or the tales of Ireland's legendary Cú Chulainn: these are not ordinary almighties, but rather extraordinary human beings.
The Legend of Zelda has traditionally concerned itself with a similar kind of storytelling. Although many iterations of our green-garbed, not-so-eponymous hero exist, Link is often just a young boy tasked with defeating the nefarious Ganon. However, Zelda and Celtic mythology aren't just structurally similar.
