If any of you are playing through Castlevania: Lords of Shadow right now, then no doubt are you having a surprisingly good time in this 3D take on a classic franchise. Rather than stating the obvious however, did you happen to stumble upon this?

Zelda reference in Castlevania
We do know that Hideo Kojima IS a Shigeru Miyamoto Fan.

See for yourself while playing through the game and decide whether it’s a coincidence or did Mr. Kojima and his team definitely put a little nod in there to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

    1. *polo34, Mr. Kojima might not have had a lot to do with the game, but since he is friends with Mr. Miyamoto, this part could have been thanks to him…

  1. please don’t make these types of trash article:/ will put down your site’s rep.

    Kojima did not direct the game, producer is David Cox.
    And yes there are many fantasy elements in the game:
    Pan’s Labyrinth, Lord of the Ring’s Nasgols, Zelda ocarina of time doku tree, Van helsign first encounter with a vampire village, etc.

    Using all these things made the game more sick!

    1. *xino, it’s true that Hideo Kojima did not make the game, but since he is friends with Shigeru Miyamoto and likes the Legend of Zelda series, I just thought that maybe it was his idea for the inclusion of the Deku Tree. Regardless, Lords of Shadow is great!
