Supposedly the Kakariko Village theme from Zelda was based on "On a Clear Day" from Kiki's Delivery Service!
Personally, besides a general similarity of meter and melody I can't really see it. I'll let you be the judge.
On a Clear Day (Version One)
On a Clear Day (Version Two)
A comment on the second one references Kakariko Village.
Kakariko Village (Ocarina of Time)
Kakariko Village (A Link to the Past)
Remember that Kiki was made in 1989, A Link to the Past was 1991, and Ocarina of Time was 1998.
Another forum thread mentions this theory. Weird.
And now for another Kiki-related Amazing Thing That I Learned Today...
A ramen company aged up the characters for a commercial.
Amazing and bizarre, who could ask for more?
