How to drive 40 pin TFT LCD display with RP

I want to drive a 40 pin tft with a microcontroller. for now i'm considering using the rp zero 2. i have bought a hdmi to 40 pin controller, but I think that it would be nicer and less power hungry if I were able to drive the display from the pi. I also would like to avoid giving up all gpio, but am fine giving up most. would I be able to do this? it is an 800x480 display, but i'm not doing anything crazy graphical and I have a lot of overhead

Without any data I don't think anyone could assist you.

i have the pinout for the display, but I think i'm going to use the gpio dpi function to try

seems like this could be considered solved
