Could this movement system be grounds for copyright infringement?

I’ve been working on a game inspired by TLOZ: Majora’s Mask and was wondering if I don’t use any assets or story/narrative elements from the game, would I be okay to recreate the movement system and combat style without infringing on copyright?

You’re least likely going to be punished unless it’s something about their game like visual, such as lore, characters, etc. basically references.

I’m no lawyer, but it shouldn’t violate copyright laws as long as your implementation is different, as in you’re not copying their code line by line.
