I can assure you that there's no connection to the Legend of Zelda. The similarity comes from a common source: Western creation myth. The idea of primordial chaos and its opposition to the created world of the gods is prominent in near-Eastern myth, and quite apparent in the Judeo-Christian tradition.
I can't speak to the exact similarities here, never having read or played the Legend of Zelda, but take my word on this one: there ain't any connection.
