The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild introduced a character who is very similar to Tam Sung, and even shares a connection with the Guardian as well in the Champions Ballad DLC.

Maz Koshia, the guardian of the final divine beast.

He is a monk like Tam Sung, he has lived far longer then he should (10,000 years), he is extremely powerful despite his age and he hasn't moved in all that time and yet he can still fight like he was in his prime. He guards a powerful source of travel like the Guardian does, and he even copies all the fighting skills that Link does, only far better (again, just like the Guardian).

He lives in a post-apocalyptic future just like Tam Sung as well. His location is hidden in the middle of nowhere (also like the temple that Tam Sung is the grandmaster of).

He is opposed to a formless force of evil that usually remains in one location (just like the Black Mass and Aku).

Oh and powerful source of travel that Maz Koshia guards is a magitek motorcycle, which is the exact method of travel Jack uses in season 5.

And there are far more similarities then that.

So yeah, Nintendo basically copied the idea of Tam Sung and the Guardian for the character of Maz Koshia.
