Amaterasu. And the entire thing is based on Japanese mythology.

The people who are saying it's like Zelda are talking about gameplay not plot Aspostrovich.  In gameplay it's very similar.  You have a similar single-button attack style.  You have many different tools which you gain as you go through the game at a rate of one per dungeon (the brush strokes) which are then used to solve puzzle based dungeons.  You even have a little fairy-type helper who helps with puzzles.  

That said, Okami is a great game and has a very unique art style and plot. It should be recognized for that and not constantly compared to Zelda.  Even if they use very similar gameplay, Okami is a great game and it's only real flaw was it's instanced combat and the fact that it was really easy.
