Dark Souls creator believes the franchise is unworthy of comparisons to Zelda

Since the inception of Dark Souls, FromSoftware’s series has often drawn comparisons to The Legend of Zelda. But Hidetaka Miyazaki, creator of the former franchise, doesn’t feel it’s worthy of the analogy.
Speaking with Rolling Stones, Miyazaki said that Zelda and Dark Souls “are different games belonging to different genres” while also adding that “they’re guided by different concepts of game design.” He also feels that the only similarities may lie in how “Zelda became a sort of textbook for 3D action games.”
As for his own personal thoughts of Zelda, Miyazaki said that it’s “truly monumental”.
Miyazaki’s full comments:
“When I was a student, The Legend of Zelda was truly monumental, so to be perfectly honest, I feel deeply unworthy of the comparison. The Legend of Zelda and Dark Souls are different games belonging to different genres though, and they’re guided by different concepts of game design. They don’t need to aspire to the same ideals. If there are similarities, they probably stem from the fact that The Legend of Zelda became a sort of textbook for 3D action games.”
