I'm 31 hours into Okami... about to head to the frozen north. Now, everyone knows that Zelda was the inspiration for Okami. However, it seems that there are some scenarios that were lifted straight out of several Zelda games. Spoilers aplenty here, so highlight at your own risk.
- A theif who steals from people in town and comes out at nightfall. (A la Sakon the Thief in Majora's Mask)
- A voyage into the Water Dragon's belly. (A la Lord Jabu-Jabu)
- A young boy who lives in the forest named Kokari. (Kokari... Kokiri, a young boy, living in the forest -- Kokiri Forest all the way)
- A town made up of all females with only one male, King Wada. (The Gerudos... with Ganondorf being the lone male)
- Ninetails fox mask... (Remind you of the Keaton mask at all?)
- A postman who runs superfast all over the overworld... (yeah...)
This is just off the top of my head... But no doubt, these scenarios are very similar, if not identical, to events that took place in various Zelda games. Anyone else found any other similar scenarios?
