Talk:Hollow Knight/@comment-29660464-20180115030558

I still don't get it... why isn't the player the true Hollow Knight? I know the game names this one so, but, as the trivia states, it was not "completely hollow". Since I saw the statue in the City of Tears, I assumed that the player was not the Hollow Knight, and because of it, I interpreted the flashback from the Birthplace as the revelation that the chosen vessel (the one known as the Hollow Knight) was not the purest or the true one and that our player was actually the deserver of the name... until I started looking for the fandom. Though most of my searches notice this flashback as a crucial plot moment, none of them seem impressed enough for it and none have my interpretation. Am I missing something from the lore (it is possible, as I still don't summarize everything the game has to offer)? Please explain.
