The apocalypse in the Breath/Tears game isn't a full on end of the world scenario, as every civilization has its kingdoms and towns still standing without much issue beyond monster raids and camps doting the countryside. So its not even an apocalypse, just a calamity befalling the Hylian castle that you stop from going further.

So its even less valid of an example, and seems to have been chosen entirely because its recent, popular, and people like the character.
