@backagain88 it would be interesting to see the alternate universe where zelda stuck with the christian iconography throughout the series, and instead of Hylia we got God Almighty.
@beardalaxy @backagain88 It's been theorized that Hyrule became a Christian nation during the downfall timeline because everyone lost faith in the Goddesses after the defeat of the Hero of Time.
But this doesn't explain why Christianity exists in a fantasy world unless Hyrule exist in an alternate universe Earth.
@xianc78 @backagain88 yeah i think that's just trying desperately to try to tie things together haha xD christian iconography was just big in japanese media back then. maybe not even just christian but other religions too a little bit, i mean there are maps shaped like 卐 in zelda 1 too.
even in relatively modern JRPGs, sometimes the churches will just randomly have crosses to signify that it's a church, even if there's no christian religion in the game.
The manji is a Japanese symbol.
I don't think it has anything to do with Christianity.
@Hyolobrika @xianc78 @backagain88 didn't say it did, just said it could potentially be other religious stuff in there. it is used in a lot of religions, and has a historical precedence for christianity too.
