Zelda and the Sages find themselves on the brink of defeat at the hands of Demon King Ganondorf. As the princess rallies herself by remembering how she held Calamity Ganon in place for a hundred years, fueled by her hope for Link's return, the Sages make a final strike against the Demon King in the hopes of defeating him and saving Hyrule from his evil...

It's been a while since I did a story like this, but I am enjoyer of big, mythological storytelling (probably why I enjoy Zelda and Star Wars so much), and part of these stories is passing on messages and lessons. In this case, the title makes it clear, but as times seem to be getting darker, I thought it was important to remind people not to give up on hope. There are good people out there, and if you can find community with them, you won't be alone. We are stronger together, and hope is greater than fear, no matter how much some people might tell you that you should be afraid. As Obi-Wan tells Luke in the Empire Strikes Back, "Don't give into hate. That leads to the dark side." Fear, anger, hatred are all easier to come by, but they ultimately only end up leading to loneliness and despair, suffering, as Yoda would say. Choose to believe in hope, happiness, and love instead. They're harder to maintain day in and day out, but if it were easy, we'd live in a happier world already. Believe in each other and don't ingest everything a leader or institution tells you blindly, especially if it's to fear someone else without any solid evidence. Take care of each other.
