E. Prevents them from understanding that making a decent movie plot would usually require a huge rewrite of the original which would ultimately leave the fans unsatisfied.
I was going to reply with something similar to this until I saw it.
But then there are exceptions there, like Tomb Raider, Resident Evil and Prince of Persia. I think the main point is that the movie must be made with the vigilant eye and permanently by the side of the game creator, and things should be only done with his approval.
But then again, I think that yes a Zelda game would suck badly, even in that trailer (that in that year's april fool "fooled" me btw) that is made to look awesome Link looks like some wnna be of a dwarf with the green tunic ^^

Yeah there are a bunch but the great majority of them is a big pile of crap. The Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat ones are examples. And others like Final Fantasy that aren't that bad but still boring imo. And also Dragon Ball Evolution that was a big production but still, meh.
Yes that's true Resident Evil (the first one) and Prince of Persia were good movies (not excellent though). For Tomb Raider the main character must have kept me from seeing the interest of the movie
