According to Miyamoto Link is 16 in both OoT and the new Zelda. Here's a quote from the E3 roundtable:
He's 16 in the new Zelda, and he said again referring to OoT. So "adult" Link is just a teenager.
Quote:But since then, we've been left with a very big question: and that was, what are we going to do when we decide to make Link a teenager again -- a 16-year-old Link. So after Wind Waker we tried several different models and made varied versions of them. Ultimately we decided that in showing a teenage Link really the best style of expressing him would be something that's closer to our graphical style in Ocarina of Time.
