Thank you very much, can you let me know if it is working now?

Yeah, itch.io client offers me to install the game.
Installing at the moment, should take about 15 minutes since download bandwidth seems to not go higher than 450KiB.

Installation has succeeded.
Pressing the 'Launch' button within the itch.io client runs the 'Zelda ToP DX.exe' executable in the folder, and the game starts without errors or crashes, same for ending the process.
I've installed the game on another partition and with the itch.io client option that makes it run games as another user.
Seems all's good?
I haven't tried the EasyRPG version yet though, could give it a try under a Linux distro, since you seem to have added Linux and MacOS as supported platforms...

Just installed the game under Linux, Solus KDE.
When i press the 'Launch' button in the itch.io client, no game is launched, instead the folder to the unpacked game directory opens.
The result, i don't know how to launch the game on Linux, i don't see a Linux runtime in the game directory, just the RPGmaker project and the Windows executable. Was the expectation that i should use Wine to run the Windows executable on Linux?
...Oh i see, there is an EasyRPG build for about 4 Linux distro package managers, and a port for ARM through deb for Raspbian. There's even a 3DS port of EasyRPG (and i did mod my 3DS XL, so i could try it some other time....), and Wii, and Switch, and Android, etc etc. Hmm, guess i'll gonna have to try build a package for Solus since there is no Solus eopkg package yet ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
Try downloading the game directly from its website "https://pezetagames.github.io/ZeldaToP/download.html". Running the file "Zelda ToP DX.exe" may cause Windows to activate the antivirus, but don't worry, just tell it to ignore it.
The multiplatform version also works on Windows, but if you want it to work on Linux, you will have to download the executable from "https://easyrpg.org/player/downloads/#release-linux".
Thanks for you thoughts, but if you reread the post you replied on, you'll see i already got your game running fine, just took a little longer to download than usual, maybe itch.io server or CDN had problems at that moment.
AV giving no trouble here.
And you'll see i already figured out there where builds of easyRPG for several Linux distro's, from the website you linked, except unfortunantly mine...but i can always try the Flatpak version, or build a package for my Linux distro of choice.
