Light: Difference between revisions

==Story==

Master Xehanort talks to [[Terra]], [[Aqua]], and [[Ventus]] about the reason [[The Gathering]] had hundreds of Keyblades, the reason being the Keyblade War between Keyblade Wielders fighting over light and darkness.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'', the roles of light and darkness play very typical roles as in most games, with light being good, and darkness being bad. Since the [[Keyblade]] is a "light" weapon and the entire quest is about closing the [[Door to Darkness]] and eliminating pitch-black [[Heartless]] creatures, the entire story is very biased in a light direction. One important belief about light is that there is always "a light in the deepest darkness". This plays a role many times in the story, including when Sora opens the door to darkness and finds a blinding light inside with [[King Mickey]]. Even through all of the bias towards light, it is still balanced with a closed [[Door to Light]] and a closed Door to Darkness. There are also two Keyblades, one from the Realm of Light, which is used by Sora, and one from the Realm of Darkness, which is used by King Mickey.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'', Light does not play as much of a role in Sora's game, since the main enemy is [[Organization XIII]], not darkness, as it is in most of the ''[[Kingdom Hearts series]]''.  

The most major story development about light in the story is Riku's constant struggle throughout the game, with him against the darkness in his heart. He tries to shun the darkness and [[Xehanort's Heartless]] out of him, but he cannot do it. Because of this, "Ansem" taunts him that darkness is his destiny. Riku finally experiences an epiphany when he talks with Naminé after Zexion, in the guise of Sora, blinds him with light. Riku finds that darkness is not bad, and he should use it along with light to help defeat his enemies, and give him more power. This changes Riku, and "Ansem", thinking that Riku has turned to the darkness, mockingly tells him that he was right about Riku's destiny. Riku fights "Ansem" and destroys him, but he is still in Riku's body. This is due to Riku declining [[Naminé|Naminé's]] offer to seal "Ansem" away in Riku's heart along with his memories of the castle. Then, at the end of the story, [[Ansem the Wise|DiZ]] asks Riku which path he wishes to take. He decides to take the road to dawn,a path leading from darkness to light. This also gives him his Keyblade with its respective name.

Roxas and Xion had been shown using the power of light.

Sora, Roxas, King Mickey and Riku (as part of his [[Limit|limit]] attack with Sora-Eternal Session) use the power of light. After Xemnas absorbs the remains of Kingdom Hearts, he uses both the powers of light and darkness.
