TIL that the Civilizations games (and others) include creator Sid Meier's name in the title because Robin Williams joked that it would help sell more copies of 1987's Sid Meier's Pirates.

You do realize his daughter was born after the first LoZ game released right?

People weren't really obsessed with celebrities' kids back then the way they are today. I was a huge Robin Williams fan growing up and I didn't know about his daughter being named Zelda until I was in my 20s.

You seriously think anyone would have played LoZ if Robbin Williams hadn’t named his baby that??? /s
