I'd second the recommendation of the Oracle games. Yes they are a bit outdated because of the GameBoy controls, but I think they are good for the aspects you're looking for. Those are games in the same vein as ALttP and LA, and I guess the newer ALBW, which you are familiar with.

The Wind Waker might look like it is as well, but like others said that game is quite straight forward in actuality. Also, the dungeons in that game are few, short and fairly simple. Likewise Twilight Princess is straightforward too, though in that game the dungeons are much, much better. Skyward Sword might also be interesting for what you're looking for, if I'd had to mention one of the 3D ones, because it has a puzzle-y overworld. That game however also puts a big emphasis on the combat.
