Found on my "watch later" list: a very interesting video from 7 years ago that compares the Zelda game "Breath of the Wild" with Studio Ghibli. And the similarities are striking - especially when you look at Princess Mononoke. I haven't played a Zelda game since the SNES but I think the narrator is right: Zelda's 2017 adventure is an homage to Ghibli's work, both in terms of its look as well as its themes.
