She wields a magic paintbrush that can be used to alter reality and is accompanied by a tiny loudmouth named Issun. Players take on the role of Amaterasu, a Physical Goddess who takes on the form of a white wolf to battle the forces of darkness that are sweeping across ancient Japan. Made by Clover Studio and released in 2006, Ōkami is an action/adventure game in the vein of The Legend of Zelda series, except using classic Japanese Mythology and folklore as the basis of its setting. Adding the fact that Nagi's descendant, Susano, appears to be useless, it looks like it will be a severely uphill battle for Amaterasu to defeat Orochi.Īnd that's just the beginning of the game. However, Nippon's faith in the gods has declined over the century, leaving Amaterasu greatly weakened. Sakuya, wood sprite and guardian of Kamiki Village, realized that something needed to be done and revived Amaterasu's body so that she may defeat Orochi once more.

All the while, the villagers never realized that, in reality, the wolf was sun goddess Amaterasu in physical form.ġ00 years after these events, someone foolishly removes Tsukuyomi from Orochi's cave, allowing Orochi to revive himself and spread his influence over Nippon. In Shiranui's honor, a shrine was constructed in Kamiki Village and the sword that slew Orochi, dubbed Tsukuyomi, was sealed away in the snake's cave in order to prevent his revival. In the end, the wolf gave her life so that Nagi could triumph. Shiranui appeared and fought Orochi in Nagi's place, proving an equal match for the serpent. However, Orochi proved to be far too strong for Nagi, and it appeared that he would kill the man.īut when Orochi was about to deal the final blow, a howl was heard. Refusing to accept this, Nagi traveled to Orochi's cave to destroy the monster. On the night of the 100th sacrifice, a maiden by the name of Nami - whom Nagi harbored strong feelings for - was selected to be offered to Orochi. One warrior, Nagi, made it his mission to slay the wolf, but every time they met, Shiranui would manage to get away. Many of the villagers suspected that Shiranui was Orochi's familiar. During the weeks before the day on which the sacrifice was chosen, a large white wolf - dubbed Shiranui by the villagers - would be spotted roaming the outskirts of the village. Long ago, in The Time of Myths, the eight-headed serpent Orochi lorded over the village of Kamiki, demanding a sacrifice every year on the night of the full moon.
