Kingdom Hearts

by Tetsuya Nomura / Square Enix & Disney

Kingdom Hearts follows Sora, a boy from a peaceful island world, who is chosen by the Keyblade — a weapon that can seal the doors between worlds. When his home is swallowed by darkness and his friends scattered, Sora teams up with Donald Duck and Goofy to travel across Disney and original worlds, battling the Heartless, confronting Organization XIII, and unraveling a conspiracy that spans light, darkness, and the nature of the heart itself.
