The interpretation of good defeats the interpretation of evil. In most cases good vs. evil is literal anyway.

I take it you are counting the 2 Zelda games yet to be released...
Anyway: Exploding barrels, and World War II.

Ugh, I am so sick of prophecies and chosen ones. Why can't we have a hero that saves the world just because he's a nice guy?

This.
Also Gears of War is another good example.
Oh and to throw another one into the mix, the final boss transforming into his final form and then having the final, final boss fight with a giant monster, that happens a lot.

Also, the new master cliche...,ACHIEVEMENTS. Instead of collecting collectibles to unlock secrets and additional content. We collect collectibles for a message.
