Early morning shower thought:
Zelda games almost always end with what would be considered one of the "bad" endings in a Dark Souls game: the status quo ending. Souls games always offer the option of an ending where the protagonist just sort of puts things back to the way they were immediately before bad stuff happened, and just hoping that things turn out differently next time.
Zelda is a series that involves constantly banishing Ganon and hoping stuff will turn out better next time.
