Norse Mythology
Norse Mythology comprises the mythology/folklore of the Vikings, mostly, but it also refers to the mythology of the Germanic peoples pre-Christianization as a whole.
Due to the viking association, Norse Mythology is generally considered to be the āmanliestā of mythologies.
Media Depictions
The Circumstances Leading to Waltraute's Marriage
The Circumstances Leading to Waltraute's Marriage was for a while the only thing listed as depicting Norse Mythology. Somewhat amusingly, this is also probably the only (non-Marvel) depiction that I ended up experiencing for a long time.
Sword Art Online
One of the ALfheim arcs of SAO takes cues from Norse Mythology. Iām pretty sure itās the one between the end of Phantom Bullet and the start of Motherās Rosario. Actually, I just checked and I think itās called Calibur.
Also, I almost forgot, but the world of ALfheim specifically depicts the world tree Yggdrasil.
Toaru Project
I canāt actually remember any explicit references to Norse Mythology in the Toaru Project, but I would find it strange if there were none. Especially considering the author ā Kamachi Kazama ā also wrote Waltraute.
Tolkien's Legendarium
The Legendarium is very explicitly inspired by Norse Mythology, down to having its own version of Ragnarƶk.
Several terms are Nordic in origin as well, though this is obvious.
I may write more if I ever get the motivation.
WarCraft
Warcraftās pantheon of titans is borrowed from Norse Mythology wholesale, though it becomes more and more infuriating as time goes on. Since I donāt recognize WoW as canon though, Iām not gonna bother explaining anything else.
