Is it odd that I think Alex Kidd have potential if revamped as an action-adventure game similar to Zelda games?

I can imagine the miraculous world of Aries having a cultural blend of late-age japan and europe and that a staple part of the culture are is a fictional martial art known as Roshambo (that or jan-ken-pon). Instead of bad guys, Gooseka was his first mentor who teaches Alex the Shellcore technique, which makes a third of Roshambo. When Alex finds out about Janken the great he learned that Gooseka was a general of Jenken until he defected from his evil ways and advice him to seek Chokkina for further training. Afterwards he recieves training from Parplin making him a Roshambo master.

Gameplay can introduce combat where you can change switch fighting styles in order to fight certain enemies or deal with certain obsticals. While various combos can be possible, the three fighting techniques you learn that make up Roshambo as well as using them in specific order for enemies and obsticals fits all around rock-paper-scissors like relations.
