Blockbuster releases in any medium may shift the entertainment landscape, leading to a deluge of movies inspired by Star Wars or Halloween, or games inspired by Dark Souls. However, sometimes the creative process is akin to convergent evolution with multiple works releasing at the same time that are remarkably similar. The 1998 movies Armageddon and Deep Impact are a good example, and in video games there are few clearer cases than The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Horizon Zero Dawn.
