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.
