Shes Zelda and he's a legend. Perfect name
Robin was a massive gaming nerd and absolutely loved 'The Legend of Zelda'. If you had to name your child after a video game character, who would it be?
Zelda was the first video game that got me hooked on them love ya Robin RIP
Thatโs really so fucking wholesome that he let his son name the unborn child. That brother will forever cherish that sister
Zelda Williams is actually an absolutely wonderfully phonetic name.
What is funny is that Zelda was the name of a first lady of the United States. The developers loved the name so much that it became The Legend of Zelda. My mistake, I was drunk when I posted that and it was actually the wife of Writer F. Scott Fitzgerald, not one of the presidents. I apologize for the confusion.
RIP Robin Williams because he was actually a legend and so underratedโคโคโค
His tone of voice when speaking about his kids, mostly Zelda, its not hurried, its soft, its sweet, full of love. I adore watching those moments. Robin, as much as he was funny, and he was so very funny, was a man who had so much love in his heart.
I still love the ad Of him and Zelda for the remake of OoT for the 3ds
"Oh she is wonderful" that is what every girl needs to hear from their Dadโค
The world became a much sadder place when Robin Williams left it .Did he really not know how much people loved him?
I had an aunt Zelda. She passed away a couple years ago at the ripe age of 95. Way before the game was even a thought
Rest in peice robin, never will there be anyone like him !
It's a beautiful sounding name I think ๐ค
Zelda was also the beautiful lady in Terrahawks. 10-10
His daughter is absolutely gorgeous too - I'm not sure what she's doing these days but I sure hope she's happy and healthy and I'm SURE she's making him proud. Funny thing, I'm finishing up Ocarina of Time right now XD
Robin Williams also loved COD......someone out there probably got shit talked in 10 different voices ๐
