I cannot stand this answer because it shows that whoever uses it didnt get the ending at all
I will xxplain in simple and short:
Wander enters the forbiddin land with the goal of asking Dormin to ressurect Mono who was sacrificed for reasons not mentioned. A deal happens: you destroy 16 collossi each holding a piece of my soul/body/essence whatever you want to call it and I will bring her back for a price..
wander defeats the 16 colossiand he returns morphed by containing all the essence of dormin. Wander did not know that the price was for mono's ressurection he would give his own body as a vessal for dormin( its hinted by dormin it was only temporary though). at the end the tribe of people that wander also belongs too reach the temple after figuring out wander took the sword and mono's body to the temple with intention of completing the ritual to free dormin. They come see him all shadow like and attemp to kill him but Dormin takes control and tries to return tthe favor but his injury slows him down( when wander was hit in the leg with a arrow) before the emon escapes he cast a banishing spell that destroys/reseals dormin. Now by accident or choice dormin decides to let wander keeps his body but degraded to an infant but with his essence in his bloodline. he also keeps his promise to revive mono.
It was a win win situation, wander keeps his life mono is revived and Agro lives.. they live in the secret garden and thanks to ICO we know they eventually xxscape... why is it sad?

They don't escape the forbidden land, they are still in it in ICO. It's a pretty tragic ending, quite frankly. Why? Well, for one, we get it confirmed that Wander was going around slaughtering basically peaceful creatures, and for this he loses his body and is reborn with a curse (in shape of the horns). Which means that Mono, now revived, has to raise a baby in a desolate place, completely alone. Considering that there's a fair amount of people living there during ICO times, they obviously had to repopulate together. Mono had to raise a kid and then carry the child of the kid. Wander's curse also leads to a ton of horny boys starving to death in the castello. It's a pretty grim ending if you actually think about things.
