So a 15-year-old is considered mature in Australia? Is that why even adults weren't considered mature enough for a lot of games for a really long time?

It's probably a different M than what you're thinking about, if I had to guess. 15 sounds a bit high for Zelda but it shouldn't probably be that strange.

An Australian M is "Recommended for 15 and over". The rating above that is MA, which is "restricted to ages 15 and over", then R, which is "restricted to 18 and over", and X which is also 18+ restricted, but specifically for sexually explicit content.

Just to add; kids have no troubles buying an M rated game or movie, it's purely advisory for the 3 parents in Australia that actually monitor their children's entertainment. 

R18+ is also a joke. Since we finally got the rating for games, the classification board just refuses classification for games anyway.
