In Ocarina, Link was a child. The reason he transformed into an "adult" was directly tied to the self-contained narrative of the game. Before this, Link had never been older than a child, arguably outside of direct chronological sequels like Zelda II and maybe Link's Awakening (though I still think he's a child there). Link was always meant to be a child.

That is a pretty reaching stipulation, to be honest. Also, If we assume Zelda and Link are the same/similar age in A Link To the Past,  then he was 15 - 16, which is about the same age as OoT's "adult" Link.

It seems to me that Link was *meant* to be a child and/or teenager depending on the game.
