      Rock Lee is supposed to be Jackie Chan because of the drunken style and the bowl cut and relate to how comedic his early movies were but he was still a lethal martial artist, it’s Metal who is supposed to resemble Bruce as he is a natural genius

    Top 10 things that is needed to be put in The Legend of Zelda movie:
    10.) A new version of Hyrule with it's own set of characters and familiar faces
    9.)Lore ( History of Hyrule, Hylia, the 3 Goddesses (Din, Nayru, and Farore), Demon King Demise, and the Triforce, Great Deku Tree, etc)
    8.) Races such as the Gorons, Ritos, Gerudo, and Zorans
    7.) An Original Story build by passionate fans and confident writers
    6.) Give Ganondorf more in-depth in to his character
    5.) Link's personality and being his own character
    4.) The Cast
    3.) An epic action-fantasy with a dash of gritty realism
    2.) Link and Princess Zelda's relationship (from friends at the beginning til they grow into lovers as their journey progresses further)
    1.) Replacing Tom Holland with a different young actor for Link

    The majority of the Fate franchise is based on real people (Same can probably be said about Record of Ragnarak, but I’m keeping this at Fate).
    Gilgamesh is for example based on a real Sumerian king called (you guessed it) Gilgamesh.
    More famous examples are Iskandar (Alexander the Great), First Hassan (Hassan-i Sabbah), Charlemagne, Okita Souji, Zhuge Liang, Oda Nobunaga, Sakata Kintoki, Senji Muramasa, Jeanne d’Arc, Napoleon, Nero Claudius, and way more.

Is it because it's based on game (and not manga) that you didn't put them on the list? Or is it because you already put BSD (and by the way, BTA is more accurate than BSD)?
