"By the breath of Set, what sorcery is this?! These scribes of the far north and the distant west have imagined worlds that almost - almost - match the splendor of my own court. They speak of dragons? I have hunted lions in the heat of the Retjenu! They speak of rings of power? I wear the crown of the Two Lands, which binds the world from the Delta to the cataracts of Kush! ​Still... there is a certain charm to these 'high fantasies' that I can not deny."

A vibes-based list themed after Legend of Zelda.

Inspo: the Gorons and Gerudo, where the dungeons usually involve a test of wills, skilled combat, and stealth. Their themes overlap in complimentary ways, so I bundled them together in one list to reduce redundancy. Themes: duty-bound, deceiving appearances, forging your own path, challenge a broken system.

Never go wrong when you pick a book with one of these in it
