The animation is like a Ghibli movie it's fantastic,

The Aonuma Zelda games have always been influenced by the Ghibli movies, especially the Miyazaki ones, there are many examples of this.

And again, even in this very short snippet of a trailer we've been given, their influence can be witnessed. The intro's almost exactly like the intro to Mononoke. Starts on a serene farmlike field (farmers and goatlike creatures can be seen in the shot of the overworld when looked at closely), then a monster bursts out of nowhere. Link even looks similar to the main character Ashitaka with his blue outfit, his hood and cloak, and firing his bow at the advancing demon while on horseback. It's eerily uncanny, really.
