Talk:Amaterasu vs Link/@comment-27846330-20170513045231

I see connections between these two:

Link and Amaterasu both originate from grand-scale Action/Adventure/Puzzle RPGs that focus on trekking through large landscapes to acquire a diverse range of weaponry to ultimately seal away an ancient, consistently reoccurring threat; Link must seal away Ganon whenever he may be released from the Sacred Realm while Amaterasu is tasked with conquering her arch-enemy Orochi 100 years after he was initially sealed away.

Both Link and Amaterasu are reincarnated personas of legendary heroes in the lore of their respective worlds, as Amaterasu is materialized as the legendary wolf Shiranui and Link being recognized as the reincarnation of the goddess's chosen knight.

It has also been shown that Link and Amaterasu share the element of an iconic companion that assists through their adventure, Link having partners like Navi, Tatl, Proxy, Elzo, Midna and Fi while Amaterasu is shown to have the travelling artist Issun.
