The Tears of the Kingdom is the Zelda game that most directly shows its Studio Ghibli influences — Hayao Miyazaki's, and particularly Princess Mononoke's motifs are scattered around this new Hyrule.

But still, despite its great story, it doesn't feel like a Ghibli narrative. What could we change to make it more so?

Evidently I do not own The Legend of Zelda franchise or any of its games,. It's a Nintendo property:

Evidently I do not own Studio Ghibli or any of its movies. It is its own studio:
