A very interesting article and an interesting point to raise. While I understand what you mean and see what you're getting at I actually don't think they should do this. As my wife pointed out - 'people play Fable and are given the option to be good or bad and will play the whole game doing good.'

This shows that people aspire to this archetype and really want and perhaps even are inherently good. It also shows that given the opportunity people want to be 'good'. I personally have always considered Link a great figure to aspire to and although people need to be aware that it is idealistic to assume you can be so perfect it's nice to think kids would be inspired to try.

There's enough gritty realism and corrupt characters in every other game. Zelda should remain the pure, fairytale perfection that it's always been - even if it is an idealistic archetype.

Fair comment?
