Maybe I don't understand because you're doing absolutely nothing to actually explain yourself in detail. You said >>11869273 got it right, and he's saying you miss out on important parts of the story by not knowing Navi and Zelda. I disagree, if you don't know those two characters you actually lose very little because they're not relevant to 99% of the entire game.
The game tells you Link is looking for a "beloved and invaluable friend" and explains everything that led up to him exploring the woods, knowing specifically that it's Navi is not important whatsoever, it's just an easter egg for people who played OoT. I don't see how this is so critical that you should insist no one play MM on its own.
Zelda shows up and teaches you the Song of Time in a flashback, how is she "important for propelling emotional aspect of the narrative?" Again, as with Navi, it's an easter egg that isn't critical for understanding anything at all. Someone playing MM without having played OoT might even just assume she's the friend he's looking for, if they even bother to think about it at all. It doesn't matter, it has no weight to it, it's just a convenient way to teach Link the Song of Time again. I never felt any sort of way about Zelda showing up in that moment, it's just, "Oh, Link is remembering how he learned the Song of Time so I can play that now."
You're acting like MM heavily plays off of OoT in a way that's integral to the story, but it just doesn't. It's a standalone sequel that can absolutely be fully enjoyed completely independently of OoT.
