Weeeelllllll everyone knows the character as Link... But since he's never actually been called Link in any of the recent games themselves, and you can name him whatever you want, the heroes names in the timeline don't necesarily have to be Link... It's just what they use for reference... In OoT it's the "Hero of Time"... In WW, it speaks of a "Hero dressed in green"... No name is given, and you can name him what you want...

Another possibility is mentioned on a timeline site, about how it's like a legend... a prophecy, that a hero specifically named Link will appear to save Hyrule...

As for Zelda, I read somewhere on a timeline site that because of something with the very first rulers of Hyrule, it's a tradition for a princess to be named Zelda... Which sounds like a reasonable explanation to me, with royal traditions and all...
