To the other characters like Eugene, Astrid, Tooth, etc. I feel like they're more side characters and their utter importance will come when each of the Big Four story arcs comes in. Canon shipping I'm not really fond of, like Rapunzel with Eugene or Hiccup with Astrid; I'd go with Jackunzel and Mericcup.

Hiccup: As I said before, being socially awkward and clumsy to an extent but throughout the HTTYD series is a natural born leader (and to most that place Jack into that category, tbh I really don't see him entering that phase as I see more from Hiccup) and his antics with Toothless would be very funny. With Jack, sure playing pranks and being annoying is there but on a deeper level Hiccup might be the very first person Jack sees and what starts their friendship, they look out for each other and are much closer as brothers. Rapunzel, yes as I said before, she's the first person who will approach him first and they are very close intellectualy, when artistic or caring about animals (and with Toothless around, she surely loves to have him) but other than that, there will be moments on stary evening skies, when Jack and Merida are asleep, the two will have a strong bonding moment talking about their problems, views on the world, values, and such, being the emotional strength for Hiccup to keep moving forward as her friend and being a strong leader to the team. Finally Merida, the two would consistantly argue as if they were a married couple and hope to see alot of teasing from Jack and Rapunzel (teehee :3) when it comes to questioning Hiccup's leadership (sometimes Jack would to some degree) not following orders, annoyed of his clumsy awkwardness or just being stubborn most of the time but the two are very much relatable when about families, responsibillities, and more, that gives them a strong moment of bonding and that they are truly not different from each other. Merida will bond with Hiccup much differently as the other two as close to shipping, and for those who still think the Mericcup shipping is stupid beacuse Merida doesn't need a man and that will destroy her character, your looking at this they very wrong way, you see, Hiccup isn't that strong, powerful, viking in shining armour (no duh) even in HTTYD2 he was nothing like that, he was brains than brawn. But what will change in Merida is not physical change but emotional, that she finally has something to fight for, to protect, to live on and see that she doesn't have to just fight for herself but those she cares for and I'm pretty sure Hiccup would love to have her take the lead, that doesn't destroy her strong woman independence but that will boost her even more to be more brave. (no pun intendend) Sorry if this is very long
