Religion in the Legend of Zelda: A video exploring the Hylian religion, what it gives its worshippers and the role of temples in the franchise

I always struggled to justify the existence of labyrinthine temples in the Zelda series, and I am normally unsatisfied with handwavy explanations, such as "it's just gameplay". This video showed that the temples exist in order to guard objects of ritual importance from outsiders, preventing them from gaining their power which, as the video author claims, is the ultimate objective in the Hylian religion. That doesn't help Link much though, because when he needs that power to save the day, he has to dive into the death traps that are the temples. I thought that does make some sense.

Anyway, I found the video to be very interesting. What do you think?
