Epona is a celtic goddess of horses, The deku tree is similair to a life giving tree in celtic myth, Zeldas clothing looks alot like the clothes the "Princess of Summer" was depicted wearing although sometimes it's changed to green. Zoras are in Scottish mythology but they are called Finfolk and even have the underwater palace but the ones in myth tend to kill fishermen. There are alot of other things but you know where I'm going with this. The characters could be Scottish or Irish or something.

There are Roman things in Zelda games as well but the Celtic stuff stands out more to me.
The Deku Tree and Zoras connections can fir both into Roman mythology (Which you've already noticed a connection to anyway), several Native tribes, Norse mthology, and I think both exist in Japanese folklore.

Zelda also has many persian influences, as well as Indian. And probably DOZENS of others.

So remind me again...Why would he be Scottish?
