You know Spemanig, OoT's story this is the opitome of people not getting it. OoT wasn't about young Link and adult Link. The story is about a kid who was sealed and his body aged for 7 years in the temple of time, he was still for aol intents and purposes a kid. Note the beginning and the end of the game Link was young. There was nothing adult about OoT's Link accept his physical looks during some of the gameplay.
To look further into the story, when Link left Kokiri Village in OoT it was impactful, because it was a kid going to fight this great evil. In ALTTP, when Link's uncle is killed during the storming of Hyrule castle it is also impactful. Not only has his uncle (the person supporting Link) been killed, but he finds himself having to take his place and, as a child, fight to save princess Zelda.
If the entire games of OoT and ALTTP revolved around older Link, when he left Kokiri Village it wouldn't really have mattered. Adults move. I joined the Army and was in Iraq at 19. Not that impactful. Or in ALTTP, if Link was 18 his uncle would have been in his mid to late 30's. I would have wondered why Link didn't go in the first place.
It's about an unlikely hero facing an unbeatable foe and winning. That's what is great about young Link stories.

I agree with everything exept you thinking that joining the army at 19 not being impactful, lol. You're a hero dude, on merits of bravery alone.

Well, I appreciate it, but the point is going to war is an adults responsibility, not a childs. Lol.
I do get your point the, going into battle is never an easy thing to do I suppose.
