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.
