It could just have an innocent mindset of "I just want to save everybody and for them to be happy!" Considering we know that Elidibus was a child at the time of his sacrifice, if his mind was made the template for Zodiark's personality as a primal...then it's likely a very innocent tragic figure. This may change how we view Hydaelyn...or may be part of what influenced her to Sunder instead. If Zodiark could not control its own power or was causing issues with the planet's balance without realizing it (again, this goes if it has an innocent mind), then the Sundering may also have been an act to protect Zodiark from hurting itself. Though this is all Wild Mass Guessing, it gives some serious food for thought. But we'll find out for certain at 5.55 at the earliest on her mindset for it.
Just a correction.
Elidibus was NOT a child. So many people get this wrong even though they've explained it. Age-wise he was basically around Graha's age(early twenties). They dont mention anything about Zodiark causing issues with the planet's balance. That's something the Ancients wouldve 100% been aware of.
