I'm fascinated by the use of Christian religious imagery in the earliest Zelda games. While the use of crosses were probably purely aesthetic designs to indicate an undisclosed religion rather than specifically Christianity, it's fun to think about as a fan of the series.

Perhaps such imagery suggests that Hyrule, now in a state of decline, has lost ties to it's rich history and cultural identity. With the kingdom in decay, and the Triforce missing, much of Hylian society has taken up worship of new Gods in place of Hylia and the Three Goddesses. Playing with religion can be tough, but I think there's a lot of potential in dealing with the subject, and have Hyrule rediscover it's previous beliefs during Link's adventure.

But yes, I'm just a silly fan.
