My favorites would be Majora's Mask Link and Tael. I think those two would make a good team. After all, they're both good people. Tael seems kind of shy, but at the end of Majora's Mask
he proved himself to be brave by voulenteering to go with Link into the Moon after Majora.
Also, MM Link is, well, obviously a courageous person. He fought so hard to save a world which wasn't even his own... If I respect Link for anything, it's got to be that.
Linebeck and Makar are my favorite Zelda characters. I love Linebeck's attitude in Phantom Hourglass and his grandson in Spirit Tracks. And Makar's music is amazing; easily the best music in Wind Waker.
That's a tough one but I would have to say shiek. I love her ninja personally she comes out of no way and tells you or teaches you something then uses a deku nut to stun you then she disappears.
