>>56564273Considering LotR was not a big famous thing yet when OoT came out (that would happen a couple years later) I wonder if either they actually read the Lord of the Rings before the movies, or if they got the console or played the game later to associate "he's a fantasy short elf man running around like lord of the rings or something, so imma call him Frodo".
Fellowship came out in 2001, and a lot of people were still playing N64s back then. Having looked this up just now the first trailer for Fellowship was Feb '01 and the following half year was basically the last major year for the N64, because the OG Xbox and GameCube would come out near the end of '01. So my rrat is they got the N64 or OoT very late into the console's lifespan. Or they just read the books first, I mean I did and I had several friends who did, the series just was not a household name yet until the Peter Jackson movies and was more of just something nerds read (much like GoT).
