Link's age

[Commodore Axilon]

Because Rauru didn't feel OoT Link was old enough.

And how does that explain the change in the size of the sword?  :-\

[Hi no Seijin]

Neither of them can brand the Master Sword, not now that it has been created.  Or do you mean brandish?  A better word would have been "wield."

Also, it just isn't a Zelda game without a couple of plot holes.

Excuse my ignorance once more.  :(

[Hi no Seijin]

Educate yourself.

And why did you change the question?  Now I feel like a fool. :'(

Different artistic styles.

[Hi no Seijin]

Huh.  You didn't change the question.  Gah!  I'm losing my mind! D:

Also, the way Rauru set it up, Young Link wouldn't be able to draw the blade without getting zapped to the future. And it wasn't that he couldn't use it--its that he wouldn't be able to use it well enough to take on Ganon in all his might until he was older.

I remember that the sword was big as he was.  :o
