Christianity.png Apparently the original Zelda games intended Christianity to be the religion but the US had it changed this is from the Japanese instruction manual there however in ocarina of time was indeed Islamic symbolism in the Gerudo tribe but this does in a way make sense since there basically the arab people of the zelda world it to was removed after people complained I also found this interesting article http://www.geeksundergrace.com/gaming/finding-god-hyrule/ I also found on Youtube a man claiming Illuminati symbolism in the zelda games but after reading the comments and my personal expierence with that channel its clear to me this man did very little research and many Christians where calling him out for it. Does Zelda promote any religion? Probably not it is in fact Japanese and they tend to be mostly neutral on that kind of thing. How ever after reading the article the similarities in the bible to the Hyrule history are quite striking!

To be honest, your game choices scare me. None of them look Christian at all.. This one doesn't either.. The makers of these games only WANT you to think that they're Christian games.

Well I know there not christian its a japanese game of course its not christian Im just saying it draws a lot of parrelels from Christianity. Its indeed a fictional universe I was just pointing out it was interesting that the intended religion was Christian. The Japanese use Western Religion in such a slapdash way its difficult to take any seriously. You just got to remember its fictional and leave it at that.
