Okay, why is Zelda still called "princess" when both of her parents are dead?
@xianc78 Hasn't been coronated yet. Hyrule's monarch could also possibly refer to a royal, even a ruling one, as Prince/Princess until they're married.

@galena @xianc78 also just because zelda and peach were originally characters nintendo made to appeal to little girls who were playing games, and "princess" sounds cooler to a little girl than "queen" does. even if that's not true today, the name still just kinda stuck and sounds a lot better than "queen zelda" does, admittedly.
