Wouldn't you like to know!
Many people assume Link, for some reason, is 12 years old in Ocarina of Time, I've even heard someone said Link was 7 years old! As many of you know the key to unlocking Link's age is when Link pulled the Master Sword out, he fell into a coma-like state for 7 long years. Meaning why would the Master Sword, keep him locked up in the Chamber of Sages, for 7 years until he was 19! makes no since to me. I think Link is 11 in OOT, so he would be 18 not 19, reason why I say that is because you turn "of age" when you turn 18. Rauru stated "the Master Sword thought you were too young to wield it," correct me if I'm wrong. I think the Master Sword would of waited until Link was a adult, and that would be 18.





Note: If there are anymore threads like this I am unaware of them.

Well, I think that he cannot be 12 at all ( WW cancels out this possibility) but I do think the child age is 10 or 11.

Young Link's age is based on height and body composition I'd say between 9 and 11

Future Link based on what I think is somewhere between 16 and 18

Thats one of the reasons why I dont understand the Master Sword in WW. If WW Link was the same age as OoT Link then why didn't he get aged too. By the way I say either 10, 11, or 12.

I believe in Wind Waker he's 15. I seem to remember them saying something about this somewhere in the game.

Well, I'm a firm believer in that Link is nine years old as a child and sixteen as an "adult". Mainly because I THINK I remember Aonuma saying that "Link is sixteen in the future of OoT" or something like that (don't quote me on this, though, 'cuz I might be wrong).

First of all the Thread is about Link's age on OoT not WW since many of the posts have been about that.

I believe Link is 14. Yes 14.

The reason is because Kokiri gropw until 7 years....so if Link (who was not a Kokiri) was 10 or 11 (or any ohter number greater than 7) he would be bigger than all kids. And also wouldnt make sense that the deku tree didnt tell Link what was going on until he was about to find the hard way (growing up without knowing).

He was locked 7 years so 7+7= 14 :P

Actually, Link turns 12 at the beginning of WW, if I recall correctly.

I think Link is 10 in OoT, because it seems to be a common assumption that Link in 17 when he is an adult.

Yes ive thought about this a lot.
And i feel he is around10 to eleven when young.
Then after he can use the master sword around 18.
Reason i say 18 is that he the build of someone of that age.
