Adventure Time: Pirates of the Enchiridion was inspired by The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

If you've been following Adventure Time: Pirates of the Enchiridion and thought it looked a bit like The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, that's not by accident. In an interview with Well Played, developers at Climax Studios explained that the classic Zelda title is indeed an inspiration for the next Adventure Time game.

“Wind Waker was definitely a solid frame of reference when we were looking at how the boat would function and feel on the open sea. I’d like to tell you more, but the guys at Outright are getting ready to show you the world in a far more interesting way than I could.”

The company also confirmed that Cartoon Network is deeply involved with the game, making sure all goes right.

“We have very regular meetings with Cartoon Network to make sure the game looks, feels, sounds and tastes just like the original universe. It’s been a smooth relationship as both sides are passionate about making sure the game does AT justice.”
