The idea of cursed scar was probably inspired by Le Guin's Earthsea when Hayao Miyazaki made Princess Mononoke.
The design of the foggy curse is probably under the influence of Daijiro Morohoshi's manga.
Tears of the Kingdom inherited those elements via Hayao Miyazaki's works.
On that note. I heard rumor, following the Mario movie's success, of a Zelda movie. The only way I can see that being half decent is if it's basically just princess Mononoke but in Hyrule.
Princess Mononoke is a masterpiece and a large part of its success is the characterization and morally grey presentation of humanity, both the good and the gritty reality of the human condition
Given Zelda can't go that dark and characters are as deep as- well, Zelda game characters, I hope they don't go the route of trying to emulate Miyazaki's style. I don't think they'd nail it
Zelda & Mononoke definitely have a lot in common and have since the series debuted. Whether it's common ancestors or influencing each other I can't say, but generally Ghibli & Zelda definitely have similar ideas floating around
Ye, that's why I think Zelda taking from Mononoke solely isn't a complete viewpoint, when I think there's similarities that Zelda has had since its early days that Mononoke has as well. I see it more as just similar creative goals/influences/spaces
i’m pretty sure the creators of zelda have mentioned that they take inspiration from ghibli a lot. It’s not uncommon! I really don’t think it’s a bad thing
A couple of great videos about how Ghibli inspired botw/totk.

This is an excellent video describing Ocarina of Time and the ties of Shinto-ism.. worth a watch
But it describes how similar these stories are.

Totk got inspired by ghibli a lot. [(SPOILER)]
Just look at the ending when Zelda falls from the sky. It looks like that girl from the castle in the sky. There are probably many more similarities and personally I love it
What? A character with a wounded arm that persists through the whole story? Surely it was invented my Miyazaki and only TOTK has copied that
/s, I do think TOTK borrows from a lot of stories, and Mononoke is likely one of the stories they borrow from even since BOTW
Yeah I also pieced a lot of Ghibli stuff and totk together :'D
[my post about the similarities (beware of spoilers)](https://www.reddit.com/r/tearsofthekingdom/s/YQkue3qQ3O)
Both BOTW and TOTK are huge love letters to Miyazaki. The Koroks. The background scenery. The floating sky cities. The castles. Pretty much everything is a big wet kiss to Studio Ghibli.
I'm OK with that. 😸
If you search on YouTube for some Mononoke / TOTK comparison videos you won't be disappointed. Same goes for general Studio Ghibli influence for the BOTW + TOTK

I love Le Guinn and Earthsea
So does Miyazaki!
I love them both! Sad that we will not see Tales from the Earthsea directed by Hayao himself and not his son. That would've been a great film!
Same. It's such an amazing series.
The depths in Tears of the Kingdom is a deliberate nod to Nausicaa. Zelda and Ghibli often go hand in hand with style and love for each other.

Uh have you seen [this?](https://youtu.be/Z6BeAtdoELY?si=oAGXKCTQ2izkqIw8) Its almost a straight rip of the beginning of Princess Mononoke.
Yeah. Lol There's no way Zelda doesn't take at least a little bit of inspiration from Ghibli. And that's in no way a bad thing.
There’s a fine line between inspiration and copying…
Breath of the Wild feels like playing Mononoke Hime. They even recoloured Link's trusty green garb to Ashitaka blue...
There's also a certain castle that rises into the sky just a bit. https://i.imgur.com/WsojI0G.png
Skyloft reminds me of Laputa. Yeah Zelda is definitely Nintendo's most Ghibli-esque franchise.
Homie, Breath of the Wild is a giant homage to Ghibli and Hayao Miazaki

No shit 😂
That's a bit of a what I am supposed to do before I exercise.

Both BOTW & its sequel have been influenced by Studio Ghibli. There is a creature in BoTW that is similar to the Forest God from Mononoke.
Totk got inspired by ghibli a lot. [(SPOILER)] Just look at the ending when Zelda falls from the sky. It looks like that girl from the castle in the sky. There are probably many more similarities and personally I love it

If it did it's all the better for it.
The first ten or so hours of TOTK felt like living inside of a Ghibli world. Then the magic wore off when you start to notice repetitive elements.
Not unless you try to build the most batshit insane stuff you can lol. And mess around with enemies.
