If they keep the story small enough, it could work. If they try to cram the last 3 decades or lore and plot and characters into 1 movie, it’ll just fall apart
Any amount of past lore is a mistake. Zelda games are practically an anthology series. The timeline was cobbled together from stories that did not give a dang about fitting into an objective chronology.
It’s not called the History of Zelda. It’s a legend. Every telling is going to be half familiar, and half buck-wild.
I hope that’s how they do this movie. You have these three cosmically-entwined characters in a high-fantasy medieval situation on a land with a surprisingly consistent three-goddess pantheon. The writers can take or leave any of a dozen mythological races, like fish people, or bird people, or rock people, or… women… and use them really however the hell they want. Everything else should be fairly novel.

I love this. That’s a great way of putting it, and mirrors how I feel about the games in the series. Also about any long running universe that had multiple storytellers weaving through it.
