Curate, connect, and discover
Forgot to say this yesterday but I also take inspiration from the mangas and include in my portrayal those things that, in my opinion, contribute to making Link or his story more complex.
An example of this is how, instead of just completely ignoring Saria's ocarina when Zelda gives him the ocarina of time in the games, Link actually loses it because he has to fool Ganondorf somehow when he tries to take it from him and the only option is giving him Saria's one (which is what happens in the manga).
