My point is that an individual looking for a purpose in life is not going to find it in a video game or for that matter a movie. Emotional connection and reaction to media is not a purpose it is a chemical reaction in the brain. A purpose if felt much deeper. While the purpose of link is to rescue the princess and save Hyrule, that is not the purpose of the player in his or her own life. Struggling to find purpose through a video game will get you nowhere. If life is so boring a repetitive that they have to seek out this purpose in some sort of digital media then, again, I don't believe the problem lies within the game.
