Daily Debate: What Aspect of the Zelda Series Inspires You Most?

Life is rough. No matter our circumstances, everyone has something that they have to struggle with. To counterbalance the strife, mankind has used stories of heroes and their virtuous deeds to serve as a source of inspiration. Feeling inspired increases our hope and confidence, which helps us trudge through moments of difficulty. As each inspiration fades, we can turn to our rich history of lore to fine new sources. As an epic legend, the Zelda series is full to bursting with inspirational moments and great feats that Link has accomplished.

Is there an aspect of the Zelda series that inspires you? Personally, while I love the medieval grandeur, battles, and exploration in the Zelda games, there is actually something in the series that I find to be much more inspiring. It is what the character of Link (and by extension the player) does in the small moments. Beyond his daring combat skills and world-saving tenacity, Link is a humble boy who seeks to do what’s right and help those around him. That is a great message for me. Even though I don’t live in epic land of swordplay and magic, I can still step outside of my comfort zone and help those around me.
