Williams named his daughter after the popular video game, The Legend of Zelda, a game he really enjoys.
“Hours on hours would go by and we'd become completely immersed in the epic adventure,” said Williams.
“My favorite part was solving the puzzles.
“I loved exploring every room to find secret passages and hidden objects.
“I vividly remember the sound the doors would make when they opened.”
Zelda and Williams would feature in a television commercial for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D together in 2011.
Williams and his daughter also starred along side each other in the movie House of D.

In a Twitter post, Zelda said that The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask is a favorite game of all time.
Zelda also enjoys playing Super Smash Bros., and showed up for a match during the 2014 E3 Super Smash Bros. Invitational tournament.
Williams was pronounced dead at his home in Northern California Monday, officials in Marin County said. The sheriff’s office noted that a preliminary investigation shows the cause of death was suicide due to asphyxia. Sources later told TMZ that Williams died from hanging himself.
“This morning, I lost my husband and my best friend, while the world lost one of its most beloved artists and beautiful human beings. I am utterly heartbroken,” said his wife, Susan Schneider, in a statement. “On behalf ofRobin’s family, we are asking for privacy during our time of profound grief. As he is remembered, it is our hope the focus will not be on Robin’s death, but on the countless moments of joy and laughter he gave to millions.”
