Looking for recommendations that capture a happy(?)/classic High fantasy vibe

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for book recommendations and hoping you can help me put a name to the kind of fantasy I enjoy.

I think what I’m after is something like “classic” or “traditional high fantasy” with a lighter, more uplifting tone—maybe even something close to cozy or hopeful fantasy, but still with real adventure and stakes.

Some examples of the vibe I’m chasing:

The Hobbit by Tolkien
Zelda: A Link to the Past (not a book, but the atmosphere fits perfectly)
Some King Arthur-style stories
Magic: The Gathering’s Lorwyn/Morningtide type setting

What I’m really looking for:

• A whimsical, adventurous world (dragons, magic swords, fae, enchanted forests, small villages, etc.)
• A tone that leans hopeful, charming, and uplifting, even if there’s danger or darker moments
• A story where the world isn’t constantly on the brink of apocalypse—more adventure than grim survival
• That feeling of wonder and discover, like you’re traveling through a beautiful, magical world

I’m totally fine with adult elements (romance, darker themes, even tragedy), as long as the overall feeling isn’t bleak or depressing. Ideally, I want to finish the book feeling happy and immersed, like I just went on a great journey.

I know this is a bit vague, but I’d really appreciate any recommendations—or even better terms to describe this niche!

Thanks in advance

Edit: I normally read darker world fantasy. Some books that I have really enjoyed include The Briar King by Greg Keyes (and sequels), The Warded Man by Peter V Brett (and sequels), multiple warhammer fantasy (guinevere, matthias thulman witch hunter, gotrek and felix), The Lies of Locke Lamora by scott lynch. If that helps at all
