It's official artwork from a player's guide. So it's mostly speculative and based on the artist rendition of the game. Specifically LttP where Link prays in front of the desert temple. Also there is a church and a priest. Plus the previous games had the cross, so it's easy to see why the artist would have made the image.

Cultural note:
The Japanese have the same reverence for Jesus and Christianity as they do Colonel Sanders and KFC, I shit you not. Jesus, Sanders and Santa Claus are entirely interchangeable and often the same person in their pop-culture meta.

Much of the actual reason Nintendo in the west chose to hardline no religious iconography in their games wasn't based in being oversensitive, it was based on the absolutely outlandish and frivolous use of it with no understanding of context or meaning in Japanese pop-culture that prompted the decision to just not include it in the west.
So I would not read to much into it if I where you.

Belmont could quite possibly and literally be praying to Colonel Sanders or Santa Claus in this scene as far as the Japanese creators are concerned.

That's true, but only because they saw christians and the cross fighting against vampires in movies, so they kept that motif and time period in the game. It's pretty superficial overall. I doubt they made it with "WE'RE GONNA MAKE THIS GAME SO BASED AND CHRISTPILLED" thoughts in mind. They just find the imagery cool. This is seen in tons of anime. They really don't give a shit about Christianity/Judeo-Christian values/Abrahamic shit in any way beyond the superficial.

A Neoplatonist senatorial sophist was teaching a class on the virtues of Hellenic paganism
”Before the class begins, you must get on your knees and worship Jupiter Optimus Maximus and accept that the Roman pantheon was the greatest form of religion in the ancient world, even greater than Christworship!”
At this moment, a brave, patriotic, Comitatus from Illyria who had fought in a hundred Danubian campaigns and understood the necessity of the Dominate and fully supported all military decision made by the Augustus stood up.
Who's the greatest being in history, apostate?
The arrogant sophist smirked quite Satanically and smugly replied “Jupiter, you stupid monotheist”
”Wrong. It’s Christ Pantokrator. If it was Jupiter as you say… then wouldn't Maxentius have won at the Milvian Bridge?”
The sophist was visibly shaken, and dropped his chalk and copy of "Against the Gallileans". He stormed out of the room crying those pagan crocodile tears. The same tears pagans cried when brave Christians chose martyrdom over submission in their struggle against the “Dominus et Deus” Diocletian when they justly sought to convert their infidel oppressors. There is no doubt that at this point our Senator wished he had pulled himself up by his caligae and become a loyal subject of the Christian Emperor and son of the Church, instead of a wimpering homosexual cretin.
The students applauded and became Scholae Palatinae sworn to defend the Empire that day and accepted Christ as their Lord and savior. A dove named “Paraclete” flew into the room and perched atop the Church of the Holy Apostles and shed a tear on the Labarum. The Edict of Thessalonica and the Nicene Creed were read several times, and St. Ambrose miraculously appeared to smash pagan altars. The Thinkery was shuttered and the sophist and his homosexual students were all castrated the next day by orders of Dominus Flavius Justinianus Augustus, who also donated their property to himself.

Zelda has always been a pretty Christian/Catholic series even without the iconography of the Cross. OoT and BotW with the failure of the hero and their redemption, the Triforce in LttP and Majora's Mask in MM being temptations that entices men to evil, Link being called to play a great and important destiny, usually the world is restored when Zelda is returned to ruling Hyrule (return of Christ), the Sages are stewards of all good in the world but hold no rule over the land (priesthood), restoring life through a red liquid (blood of Christ), etc

Not a troll post, genuinely it's all over the series if you look.

>Western looking hero with western looking sword in a western fantasy setting has western religious iconography.
Yet never does the game breathe a word of Christian tenets. It's all just imagery. You can like Zelda, and you can think it's cool it has Christian imagery in it, but liking it because you think it's actually Christian is just fucking silly. You're just reaching to justify and elevate your love for a dumb video game.

Zelda and its designers aren't 'based' like you want them to be. That said it's still a lot better than any AAA western shit in gameplay, aesthetics, and principles... along with their culture, but it IS a different culture.

Bleh, thought he meant older games as in older games in general and not older Zelda games.

However, Link's shield no longer has the cross as depicted in early games/art and they did remove an Islamic chant and Islamic looking moons from OOT. Nothing nearly as reminiscent as a prayer in LTTP or a church/temple with western church-like aesthetics and music like OOT. It has gotten a little less real-life religious looking with time.

Japanese attempts to mimic Western high fantasy are about as jumbled and half assed as the opposite.

Pretty much. The logic behind giving Link a crucifix shield is probably just smashing all things in "fantasy" together and nothing more, so you get imagery associate with Knights, such as the crucifix. King Arthur, LOTR, Greek and Norse myth, any random fairy tale from Europe, what's the difference to an average Asian? Just like in the West nobody other than people very into Japan ever questioned how Sub Zero was a "Chinese Ninja Warrior" and etc.

>>7489234
If you're a Christian, you would understand that all humans are sinners, and all humans create is at least partially sinful, because they are born with sin. 4chan is sinful because it is of man, you wouldn't have to worry about much else.

I think his honesty is more what caused him to feel remorseful (repentant) about his evil former deeds, rather than necessarily having a good heart.

Here's some pre-production concept art for A Link to the Past. It was going to be titled Zelda 3 I think, and it was supposed to be set in both the space age future and the medieval past. As you can see, Link wears some pants and Zelda dresses like a slut. Nintrando told the artist, this isn't gay enough.

Ah yes, Japan that was still feudalistic and under total control of a sun-god cult before the Americans had to slap some sense into them and configure basic education and infrastructure available for all so that they could benefit of their own populous aptitudes instead of keeping the majority wasted under a hierarchical boot-heel.

The post-war economical miracle that saw them poised to become the worlds leading economy in just the span of four decades, was certainly a horror of western corruption amirite?

Religion is the product of the absence of reason, it has always been a predatory scam and tool for totalitarian rule. But you are right in that even the most banal and moronic can be made to worship, as long as people don't think for them selves and use reason the greedy predatory manipulative sociopaths of us stand ready to exploit it to the absolute fullest. So instead of you surrendering your reasoning and self to some distant idea, use it to contribute and improve for the betterment of yourself and by extension society.

If the road to hell is paved with good intentions, unchallenged high principles above reproach is it's express highway.

The fact that you derived the conclusion I'm an atheist from the post where I explicitly stated, that intellect is measured upon your ability to be open to ideas and possibilities however untrue they might appear, is just incredibly bizarre.

I was ready to respect, if only challenge, that you where guided by principles that you hold higher than conscientious self reasoning, but when it turns out the principles that dictate and define your perspective are memes... that's just sad anon.

Denouncing religion does not equate to denouncing the existence of a god, like Jesus at the temple angered and disgusted by those who put themself between man and god, I just pointed out the corruption you find in these middlemen gating you from seeking truth, whatever it is.

>this is a Zelda thread
About the religious backdrop and it's possible implications, both in the lore and how it's Japanese creators relate to it and in what context. Which has brought us to this very post you're reading right now. Again, you might be fine with being intellectually dishonest with yourself, but you can't possibly be this dense?

>stopped reading
It's obvious you did not with all the quoting isn't anon? Well don't be ashamed, this is progress if perhaps a small step, you read what you proclaimed you would not. Your intellect is hungrier than your convictions are strong, this was all I asked of you to challenge.

that's your own misreading. the temple was being defiled by money lenders and profane men with no sense of the scared. Christ built his church on men, Peter and the apostle who were to baptize and teach others and have authority over them.
