In Legend of Zelda there's no one quest line for you to do. It's an open world you're encouraged to explore. You'll see something in the distance and think "ooh I want to go there" and start heading in that direction, but on the way you might see something else and change quests.
I'm thinking meaning is similar to this: You have some best guesses right now about what is meaningful, and that's all that's required for you to move in a direction. And on the way you may learn things or you may change yourself, and then your direction changes.
