Ultimately I like the ending. For a second there, I thought they were going to double down on the Shield Knight sacrificing herself to save Shovel Knight. I'm glad they didn't. I just don't think there was enough character development or back story about Shovel Knight's and Shield Knight's relationship to make that kind of ending meaningful. Plus the whole game is about trying to rescue Shield Knight, if she died in the end it would have left everything pretty much exactly where it was at the beginning of the game with Shovel Knight grieving over Shield Knight. Plus with the general sort of humorous tone of the game the sad ending doesn't seem to fit with me, I think it would have left me feeling unsatisfied.
What do you think should they have left the fate of Shield Knight unknown?
Also, did I miss something about the back story of Black Knight and Shield Knight? Or was I just supposed to fill in the blanks myself on how they knew each other?
