Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Inverts One Of The Oldest Story Tropes

Story Highlights:

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom smartly turns this most familiar of storytelling tropes on its head, and in doing so, makes Zelda the true hero of her own namesake franchise.

While official material like the Hyrule Historia has attempted to stitch together the various parts of the series into a cohesive whole, it's arguably best read with some flexibility as a loose assembly of similar stories with repeated themes and tropes.

The "hero of prophecy" trope isn't unique to The Legend of Zelda, of course.
