The Triforce is the foundation of the world’s existence, but it’s also the Light that shines on it. It’s not just the world that is decaying and breaking down, society is as well. This is what it’s like to be born in Lorule, to grow up your whole life with no hope. Considering the way life is for many people today, it’s not that hard for them to imagine. Think of what it would be like to live with no hope, to be consumed by despair.

Ravio believes he’s a coward at his core. There was no way that I had the courage to stand up to you and Yuga. Ravio even says about himself:įorgive me, Your Highness. Whereas Link is the embodiment of Courage, Ravio represents Cowardice. The symbol for the game is Hyrule’s Triforce and Lorule’s dead Triforce reflected. That appears to be the theme of the game.
