The actual Legend of Zelda is a legend first revealed in Zelda II: Adventure of Link.
As the legend goes, a long time ago, the king of Hyrule's son learned about the Triforce and desired it greatly. An evil wizard informed the prince that his younger sister Zelda knew of its whereabouts. The two confronted Zelda. When the princess refused to talk, the wizard forced her into a deep sleep. Overcome with power, the wizard died in the process, leaving the prince guilt-stricken for betraying his own blood. He had his sister moved to the North Castle altar and declared that every daughter born into the royal family shall be named Zelda. [1]
This explains why the name Zelda is a recurring name in every installment.
