Was "The Legend of Zelda" a Christian Game?

I might be a hopeless, nostalgic Nintendo boy when it comes to video games. I prefer Mario to Master Chief, and Tecmo Bowl to Madden. Turns out that one of my fellow video-gaming seminary alumni is co-running a blog and co-writing a book on the integration of faith and video games called It's Not Just a Game.

They recently wrote about Link, from The Legend of Zelda (I never really got into RPG's) as Nintendo's possible first Christian hero (even before Bible Adventures?).
