I don't think it's a bad thing though and shouldn't get marked down for it. I mean there are so many inspiring folk tales out there. Where would Zelda be without Robin Hood, or Shadow of the Colossus without plain ol' giants?
If you live in an inspiring place or read inspiring (and copyright free ) materials then it's probably good to use them. As tribute, as reference or even just to get something previously known locally to the whole world.

Who gives a fuck? A fan-game is a game made specifically in the style of an earlier game, featuring the same characters yes? So how is Knytt a fan game?
PS - how do you say Knytt? I've always said "k'nit", but I dunno what a "y" is in Swedish.
Nifflas did a recording of the pronounciation once. Its K-neet though I always just say 'Nit'.
And Bram Stoker's Dracula is a book about Vlad the Impaler and a lady who used to bath in young girls blood...
Therefore Castlevania is twice the plagurism!!!
