You know, I never thought about how old Link and Zelda are in the games. Never really had a need, of course, but in some games it’s made obvious (literally switching between child link and adult link), I’m not sure if it’s explicitly stated for wind waker but just look at him… But then, in BotW there’s implications of past romance, and this being the last Zelda game I played might have primed me to not think of Link as a kid.

Wind Waker begins with grandma giving you your tunic for your twelfth birthday. :3
There’s literally a distinct “kid” version of Link to differentiate him from the “regular” adult Link in smash bros
BotW has Zelda turn 17, so link is probably around that age as well
Link slept for a hundred years though in BotW.
After the birthday. And so did she.
Would be creepy if he was 40 and just doing all this to groom her when she turns 18.
That’s the Tingle timeline.
