The rename command…

Since there is a serious bug in Nautilus, that adds the very unnecessary
text "Link to " to a link created with Ctrl+Shift+Drag&Drop, I searched the
Internet for a way to remove that ridiculous part of the file name, and I
came up with this:

rename -v 's/Länk till //' *

Or, if your language is English:

rename -v 's/Link to //' *

However, there doesn't seem to be an option for recursivity built in to that
command. I am not good with scripts, but I am sure there is a way around
that.

What could I add to this command to also make it work in all the subfolders
of the current folder?
