Haha! Don't worry, I'm aware of that. I know i'll have to work my way up there to get even anywhere remotely to such a film, but have faith

The real secret is to keep the Zelda feeling. Big, majestic landscape, quirky characters (not as quirky as Tingle, though,) monsters, magic, the usual. Assuming Link is in it, you have to be careful. Seeing a guy in a skirt is a bit... creepy. Make it a bit lower and straighter or something, like what you might see in Lord of the Rings but green. I can't say I know anything about movie making though, so this may not be worth anything.
Nintendo are prepared to bring their titles to the big screen, most defiantly, it's just finding a director with such a enthusiasm for such a project, After all, it's their franchise. Though any nintendo film project has been said that it will be produced by nintendo, so they'd defiantly keep an eye on how their games are adapting.

I would try to pull away from lord of the rings as much as i can.
I aim to have a sort of Indiana jones pace to the film - action, adventure, and comic scenarios. Though I do agree on what i assume your meaning by LOTR, by epic, and lengthy. It would achieve that too. a trilogy is in order, simply because the mythology in zelda is too much to contain in just one film!

One of the main tricks is fill in vital parts of the film that replace the aspects of dungeon to dungeon, yet through out the trilogy, realizing that all the themes , world, spieces have been portrayed into the plot.
