Okami

Okami is well known for two things: being a good Zelda-style game, and for being WAY too long for its own good. Both things are accurate. It's long, and felt more repetitive over time than Zelda games do. I like it, but did stop playing after a while...
As for the story, it is inspired by Japanese creation myths from their earliest written books, redone with plenty of anime style and some added sexualization. Without knowing the context of the myths it takes elements of you definitely will miss something plot-wise; the game does stand on its own, but things make more sense in context. Amaterasu, for instance, isn't just a goddess now in the form of a wolf who is the character that you play as in this game, but in Japanese myth is the sun goddess and their most important deity. Etc. (Oh, on that note, Sakuya's cutouts in her kimono area ll peach themed, fitting for the tree.)
