Did Zelda influence?

What I want to know is did the fishing in Ocarina of Time influence sega to create sega bass fishing.

I wouldn't so, there might be influences but I doubt it.

There have been fishing games made ever since video games became a viable way to make money. Ocarina of Time's fishing mini game was quite good, but I doubt that it had a huge impact on subsequent fishing games.

If anybody mentions that movie Legend, I think I'm going to blow up in a frenzy. And nobody will like it. Not only because there are so many vauge assumptions about that cursed movie but the release dates of the two make it physically impossible to suggest that. People's impressions of fantasy have been so hammered, it grows utterly pathetic enough to say "hey, a zelda movie wud be jus liek lord of the rings!111 lol!"

But yes, I suppose there could have been influences but not really carbon copies of them. You could say Link resembles Peter Pan. What with the green outfit and Navi/Tinkerbell but again, it's not that crystalline. Of course, the Zelda world seems to be inspired by the medevial setting, but who dosen't know that? But anyways, it's a creative series. It's not as if batalantly copies anything.

Edit -> Wait, this is the other way around? My bad.

yeah, enough said. the mini game in ocarina of time was good, but its doutful thats the reason why other fishing games have been made.

Since it was only a mini game I dont think it had any influnce to Segas bass fishing.

I agree, the zelda fishing game isn't really a great role model for another game to be based on. It isn't all that fun.

I completly doubt why on earth would they copy that fishing thing i mean seriously...but the truth is no they just thought it would be fun to have a fishing game.

SearanoX, I don't know about you, but I really can't see a reason for this thread to continue, seeing as how everyone is saying the same thing.

So, just to be different- I think Zelda's swordplay influenced fly-fishing worldwide. *nod*
