How did Aonuma come up with the idea of Wolf Link at the same time as Kamiya was working on Okami? Keep in mind the wolf aspect was first teased as the end of a trailer in 2004. Okami wasn't revealed till half a year later. I find happenstances like this fascinating.
Both developers are Japanese. Both came up with the same idea of a lupine in the same genre (Zelda-esque). Both decided to go with wolves instead of kitsunes despite not only being more popular in Japan but having a history with both (Aonuma worked on the more light-hearted parts of Majora's Mask which means he came up with stuff like Keaton, and Kamiya is on record with saying his favorite games are Star Fox). Both games released in the same year to similar critical acclaim to vie for GotY.
I can't believe I'm the only person who finds this incredible.

Maybe people who work in the same industry and area are friends and talk about their job

Unlikely. Aonuma or Kamiya would have mentioned it since they're honest guys. Another coincidence.
Besides what you're saying doesn't hold water. Nobody up that high would steer their game so far in the same direction.

How did this game become so popular without ever actually being released?

I remember hearing talk about how this generation of console allowed people to animate something like a dog or wolf much better than they could before. You always could, but I'd imagine it would be unconvincing to be looking at so-so animations the whole time. I'm talking out of my ass here, but I think people were finally able to make games with non-human protags with this new generation of hardware and wanted to go for it.
