For the same reason the later games turned Link's hair blonde- for better contrast and visibility's purposes.

No. You could argue in Zelda II, but in Zelda I it's a sandy blond and in LttP it's straight up blond.

For comparation's sake, Zelda's hair is clearly blonde while Link's is brown.

It's my favorite Genesis game. It doesn't try to copy Zelda so it doesn't suffer the comparison. It's more a top down beat'em up. It has less game design idea than Zelda but if feels very good to play.

It's likely that his hair was sunbleached, hence the transition of Brown to Blond.

It doesn’t make sense because Japanese people tend to have black or very dark brown hair, so why did they make Zelda have pink hair? When it’s Japanese game?

Or he was just brown and then they decided blonde was more exotic and better contrasting with the green color scheme.
