I think the whole thing is retarded.
I really don't think there was too much thought put into the stories behind these games, at least not enough to make them allegorical. I think the story-creating process went more along the lines of "uhh...let's have an elf. But no, not tolkien's elf. Our elf rules high. Hyrule......Goddammit, let's just have him kill some bastards for some stupid tri-force or something!"
Anaylise anything like this for too long and you're bound to come up with an allegory. That's why allegories suck.
