The Legend of Zelda and the Sacred Light
from Doxacast Remix · host Cindy Collins Smith
Doxacon’s 2025 Clergy Keynote Speaker joins host Cindy Collins Smith - and it’s Fr. Evan Cummings! Fr. Evan offers context for his upcoming talk on apocalypse in Magic: The Gathering before settling into a lengthier conversation on The Legend of Zelda’s Tears of the Kingdom (2023). Amid Hyrule’s restoration after the Great Calamity, a new apocalyptic event occurs - The Upheaval, when a mummified Ganondorf revives and unleashes new horrors on the devastated Kingdom. Tears of the Kingdom expands on the theme of sacrifice so prevalent in Breath of the Wild (2017), while also exploring themes of newness and hope, the duties of leadership, and the restorative power of sacred light.
