You could devise such a system, but it would have serious drawbacks. The moon is not always in the sky, and even when it is it is not always luminous enough to cast a shadow. During the new moon, for example, the moon is in the sky, but we are looking at the full unlit face of the moon without even a slight crescent of luminosity. Your system would probably be made up of very complicated equations even when the moon is luminous.
Yes, you can estimate the time of day by the length and direction of your shadow. In the morning, the shadow will be longer, pointing towards the west, and in the afternoon, the shadow will be shorter, pointing towards the east. This method is not as precise as using a clock, but it can give you a rough idea of the time.
During a total lunar eclipse, the diameter of Earth's shadow as it falls on the Moon is approximately 2.5 to 3 times the diameter of the Moon itself, which is about 3,474 kilometers (2,159 miles). This means the shadow can range from about 7,000 to 10,000 kilometers (4,350 to 6,200 miles) across. The exact dimensions can vary depending on the distance between Earth and the Moon at the time of the eclipse.
the shadow of the sundial is just called a shadow
To tell time using a shadow clock, place a stick upright in the ground and mark its shadow at regular intervals throughout the day. As the sun moves across the sky, the shadow will move as well, allowing you to estimate the time based on the position of the shadow in relation to the marked intervals.
During a total solar eclipse, the speed of the Moon's shadow across the Earth's surface typically ranges from about 1,000 to 2,400 miles per hour (1,600 to 3,900 kilometers per hour). This speed varies depending on the specific geometry of the Earth, Moon, and Sun at the time of the eclipse. The shadow moves fastest near the center of the eclipse path and can create a dramatic effect as it sweeps across the landscape.
eat moons and trees to check the correct fish

We can indeed give a correct answer most of the time.
no, it does not give correct time.

sundial could be in a shadow and give no clues
The only really practical usage I can think of is indicating the time on a Sun Dial. Thus the dial needs a fin-like shadow pointer called a Gnomon ( pronounced Nomon) The shadow is actually read off for the time of day.
A lunar eclipse is where the Moon is in the shadow of the planet earth. The equivalent happens in Jupiter's system constantly, since the planet is so large and the sun appears only as a tiny ball of light. Jupiter's moons will orbit the planet and will be in complete shadow for long periods of time as they go behind Jupiter on every orbit.
Shadow gauntlets are not in ocarina of time.
The Shadow Out of Time was created in 1936-06.
Because a lunar eclipse occurs when the moon sails into Earth's shadow. That means it must be around the 'back' of the Earth, directly opposite the sun, since that's where the shadow is. And that also happens to be the set-up at the time of the Full Moon.
