Positive thinking leads to positive outcomes. Continuity is not even in the top five priorities... Non-violent solutions should dominate; I'd go for a system with much opportunity for auto-success. Tho' there are a few games grounded in Ghibli already in print, at least 2 in English...Zelda - The videogame is dex and puzzles. Plus keyed items. System needs to be fairly light, not «class and level», and be able to distinguish the various kindreds - Hylian, Zora, Goron, Koroks, Kokiri, Rito, Gerudo, Shiekah, Subrosians... goals which are at odds with each other unless using a vagueness-using mechanic like 2d20 Traits or Fate aspects. (Other games with aspects that I've read make them far more concrete and setting definitional.) It needs to be a system that gives tactics better than the videogames' «walk up and swing»... Combat can easily overrun it.  I've looked at a bunch of attempts to do it in existing games, but, being grounded in the top-downs, having finished only the original and windwaker - and both of those twice... (I hated TLoZ:TP... the only one I hated.) Favorites to play now are WW and Skyward Sword, but if I can find OoA and OoS, those will get replayed. (Forgot - I did finish 4-sword... both alone and coop.)</blockquote>
