I read online that Miyazaki was a huge fan of western fantasy (why all the Souls games are all medieval fantasy with dragons and knights and shit), but coming from a Japanese background he didn't really understand all the stories and details at first; he basically was just drawn to the "rule of cool" with medieval fantasy, and he wanted to emulate that disjointed feeling when you play his games.
That all could be entirely wrong though.
