Simple matter. They are asking for a specific game - it can be assumed by the question that it's talking about the flagship game. The flagship game is titled The Legend of Zelda. I would say that if they were asking for the Franchise's name, then Zelda would be appropriate, because (next to noone) calls the franchise "The Legend of Zelda", but I at least commonly distinguish the first game from the others by calling it, and it solely, The Legend of Zelda, while calling Zelda 2 Zelda 2, Link's Awakening Link's Awakening, and so on and so forth.

Kinda wish they'd use the resources to fund the Legends game they decided to cancel. -.-''
