Random Time! - Does this Brazilian soap opera intro remind you of a game?

I'm not going to say what game I'm talking about, but reader E certainly thinks that the intro for Love Eternal Love looks like a recent entry in a long-running franchise.

There are some things that remind me of Skyward Sword yeah, but not enough for me to think it's intentional.

That's a soap opera opening?

That was beautiful, I could never guess it was the intro to a soap opera.

@LegendofSantiago

I was gonna say a joke about the bird having a mask, but maybe it's Mario's Gusty Garden...

Man that's quite the opening for a soap opera. I would tune in just to see that opening alone. It's really nice to look at.

It is so well-made because soap operas in Brazil are as popular as TV series in the US, so a lot of money is invested in them. Don't be fooled by the opening though, because most of soap operas end up sucking, as writers always resort to surreal situations and include parallel plot lines that are boring or try to be funny.

That's actually a pretty sweet intro. I agree with @Sir Tobbii, some things are similar/very similar, but at most I think it's just inspired.

And if it is, what's so wrong about it? It's not like the soap opera itself resembles the intro, anyway :P most of the time, these intros are just a way to get the viewer's attention.

not saying its a rip off or a bad thing as its a cool intro, but its clearly very much like SS. a blonde kid, a blonde girl in pink. a big red bird, islands in the sky.

Oh I see the girl at the end looks like Hinawa!

Definitely a MOTHER 3 reference! :P

Wow I LOVE this opening - surely they aren't going to have a boring old soap opera after that. This would really hook my attention, but a soap opera would lose it again just as fast.

To me, it's all coincidence.

Plus, I'm sick of "Fly Me to the Moon".

That's a pretty cool opening for a soap opera. Yeah, it does resemble Skyward Sword a bit, but I doubt it was intentional.

I'm seeing more Final Fantasy than Zelda.

It resembles SS a lot, and if it's intentional, that's incredibly awesome.

Either way, that was quite lovely.

Definitely based off Skyward Sword, I don't know how anyone could deny that or not see it (assuming they've played the game)
