Well, afaik, Legend of Zelda is about solving puzzles and upgrading your Link so that he may progress the dungeons further.

Then there are boss fights which is always puzzle-heavy in solving their attack patterns.

Do we have those tropes or are we expecting character interactions like in fantasy fiction books?

We're not exactly trying to make or play a Zelda game. Rather, we're having a story take place in that world- as if it were a fantasy setting rather than a video game.

well, the tropes I mentioned can serve as the narrative device, e.g. the Light characters are on a mission to search for a powerful magical items and the GM can add a certain ability in the CS for any who possess the item.

Or... we can have a Goron opening a weapon shop, managing it as a company and monopolizing the whole blacksmith business throughout Hyrule
