I made this to show you that Link is usually a young boy.
Link was only an adult once which we saw in Ocarina of Time. This was the first time Link became a man with pubes and esophageal burning.
In Zelda 2: The Adventures of Link, he was still a child, well, a teenager. This is probably why you think he was an adult since he had things such as knees and elbows which he didn't previously have. I would agree that he is slightly older, but still not an adult.
The Link used in Link's Awakening is the same model used in the Oracle series and you can clearly see he is a child, even in the artwork it's showcased that Link isn't an adult - Probably the same age as Zelda 2's Link. In the 12 to 14 range.
Young Link from Ocarina of Time was reused in Majora's Mask. Link is 11 years old as Young Link. Young Link is the character we all know and love from almost every Zelda game. In almost all adventures, it is mentioned that Link is "the age of becoming a man" or puberty. But not passed it.
In Wind Waker, Link is 11-13 years old. So is Zelda.
So there you have it. In every game but one (not counting the yet unnamed GC Zelda), Link is in the range of 11 to 13. In OoT he became 18 years old only because of the Triforce that knew he couldn't defeat Ganondorf as a child.
And... I’m spent. *twiddles thumbs*
