ZOMG TIMELINE ERROR

[The Glamour Nazi]

It says link was eight when OoT started and that means he was 15 when he was an adult. BUT, Link was 17 when he was an adult. As I have seen it said somewhere. I am new and have just read he timeline and i read he was 17 a long time ago. and what 15 year old looks like that anyway.

Wait, what?

I...

what?

how?

this  cannot be... *muttermutter*

What are you referring to? what are your sources for Link's age? I recall him being 10 as young link.

[Hi no Seijin]

I don't remember an official age being given to Link.

[The Glamour Nazi]

I Think Shiggy said he was 10 in an interview i saw on Legendofzelda.com. its an old one like i said in my previous post. And I just noticed this is on the wrong forum thing, and i dont know how to move it sorry.

I actually read somewhere he was 8 and 15, too. I can't remember where, though, mabye Wikipedia. I'll go check.

Nope, couldn't find anything. Mabye they edited it out of the article a while ago, or something.

[Gamefreak]

It's a matter worth disputing, but I think this hardly amounts to a timeline error.

[The Glamour Nazi]

yeah probably. But still what 15 year old looks like that. And look at Zelda she would have to be around the same age.

[DW]

Nobody here thinks Link was 8 and 15. I'm trying to figure out who you're debating with.

[Mysterious F.]

I think so, actually. I remember reading that somewhere.

And he would have to debate with someone who has an opposite opinion, Shika. 

[DW]

But there is nobody here who thinks Link is 8 and 15.

[Mysterious F.]

Did you not read me saying I think so? I think Link was 8 and 15. Fifteen makes sense, because in Japan that's legal adulthood.

[Hi no Seijin]

yeah probably. But still what 15 year old looks like that. And look at Zelda she would have to be around the same age.

I think a 15 year old could look like that.

[The Glamour Nazi]

I still think he is 17 as adult and 10 as child. Does anyone know what the deku tree said when he reavealed that link was hylian? How long ago did he say it was.... Or Maybe he didn't. I really don't want to go through the game again. Fire temple really pisses me off. Almost as much as water temple.

[Hi no Seijin]

I'm going to go ahead and assume you mean after the Forest Temple.  If not, then I got the below quote from this Quote FAQ on GameFAQs.

DEKU TREE SPROUT:
Hi there! I'm the Deku Tree sprout!
Because you and Saria broke the curse on the Forest Temple, I can grow and
flourish!
Thanks a lot!
Hey, have you seen your old friends? None of them recognized you with your
grown-up body, did they?
That's because the Kokiri never grow up! Even after seven years, they're still
kids!
You must be wondering why only you have grown up!
Well, as you might have already guessed, you are not a Kokiri! You are actually
a Hylian!
I am happy to finally reveal this secret to you!
(cut scene)
Some time ago, before the King of Hyrule unified this country, there was a
fierce war in our world.
One day, to escape from the fires of the war, a Hylian mother and her baby boy
entered this forbidden forest.
The mother was gravely injured... Her only choice was to entrust the child to
the Deku Tree, the guardian spirit of the forest.
The Deku Tree could sense that this was a child of destiny, whose fate would
affect the entire world, so he took him into the forest.
After the mother passed away, the baby was raised as a Kokiri. And now,
finally, the day of destiny has come!
(end cut scene)
You are a Hylian, and were always bound to leave this forest.
And now...
You have learned your own destiny...
So you know what you must do...
That's right...
You must save the land of Hyrule!
Now, Link, break the curses on all of the Temples, and return peace to Hyrule!!

Yeah thanks. That still gives no information. (How how i Hate you shigeru, Yet i Love you so much). Any other theories on how old link is?
