Link's generally been a teenager/young adult in the earlier games.

The fact is the three best selling Zelda games (OoT, TP, NES Zelda) feature an older, non-child Link.

I don't need a hyperviolent Zelda game, but what's wrong with a Nintendo franchise that is a little darker and cinematic? I don't want a "cutesy" Zelda, I just don't have the patience to stay in that world for 60+ hours. If you're asking me to play a game that long then I need some meat for my grown-up self to chew on.

Nintendo has so many kid/cartoon-centric franchises already anyway ... Zelda doesn't need to go in that direction. Sometimes its smarter to just give people what they want.

To be honest I wouldn't prefer to baby as say Baby Mario vs. Real Mario. Or Baby Samus vs. Real Samus. I didn't like Baby Kong in DKC3 that much either, prefer using DK. I just don't see the appeal.

Zelda NES had a young Link. OoT featured a young Link in an older body. Zelda has aways been a kid franchise. Every single game but one is rated E. You want an "adult" franchise? Look somewhere else, because that's not Zelda.

For everything else, read my signature. Then grow up.
