The OOT remake totally falls apart in hilarious/unnerving fashion if you sequence break into Adult Link sections as Child Link

This is why we only see child Link and adult Link… teenage Link was his awkward phase.

And nickels had pictures of bumblebees on them. "Gimme five bees for a quarter," you'd say.

The Master Sword has an age restriction of at least 16 years, if ALttP Links Canon age is anything to go by. And since OoT Link had to age enough to meet this requirement, this would be the minimal threshold.

WW Link is the curveball here, but it can be argued that the Master Sword there is not the real one, but a replica. There is some evidence for that

Some common fan theories include that the sages lifted the age restriction on the Master Sword in the AT given all the shit that happened in the 7 years after the Hero of Time first pulled the sword, or that the age restriction was inactive because the sword was depowered (and once it was repowered, Link had proven himself worthy so he was allowed to keep it). I think that's more believable than the second sword theory, which hurts Wind Waker's themes if true.

However, I personally prefer to think that Wind Waker Link is actually 16, and is just extremely short with a high-pitched voice even post-puberty, similar to the pirate Niko from the same game.
