So how old is Link mentally once he's done with his adventure in OOT? He was 10 in the beginning then 17 physically, and then of course there's MM to consider.
Experience makes you older. He was a killer and went all over.
>>741877081Probably 11 at the most by the end of OoT, 12 during MM is how I sort of thought of it
>>741877081mental age is more linked to brain development
>>741877804How developed do you think his brain is if he got teleported to an adult body in the future, he doesn't have any experience of what's in between
>>741877081old enough i suppose. He got it all done
Doubt future in Hyrule was more than a year or so
>>741879948>he doesn't have any experience of what's in betweenYou can hardly say he had any experience of life before the timeskip either. He was a friendless antisocial outcast shut-in, who had never seen anything resembling actual civilisation or education before leaving the forest.
>>741877081he's a manchild like his fans
>>741889828He did beat 3 dungeons tho
>>741877081>>741877081>>741877081Did they ever explain why he got sealed?
>>741877081Probably 11, suddenly getting a teen brain with no experience doesn't magically make you a worldly person. He's probably a very very mature 11 year old, but still basically a kid, at best a young teen... which makes what Cremia did to him legally dubious.
>>741890118Rauru simply says they had to wait for him to age because his body couldn't have handled the master sword/triforce/some other thing if he was young
>>741885741and teh adventure to get the keys to the entrance to the sacred realm? Zora, Goron, and Kokiri?
>>741890426>which makes what Cremia did to him legally dubious.Not by Terminan law. She explains it herself: You are legally an adult when you are recognised by another adult as having helped them. And she gave him that recognition right then, making adult advances perfectly legal.The whole Bombers gang is also kids trying to become adults, they're not helpful out of altruism.
>>741890426>which makes what Cremia did to him legally dubious.ohh yeah
>>741891175NANI?!
God, isekai me to Termina plox
>>741877081>and then of course there's MM to consider.Look at the first and last forms Link takes in MM.>first form: Deku Scrub>a form that's even more pathetic and childlike than Link's Hylian form>may very well be a deliberate mockery of Link's situation at the start of the game: he was forcibly sent back to his childhood at the end of the last game, but he was so changed by his experiences in the future that he no longer felt like he belonged with the innocent Kokiri>and of course no one remembered his adventures in the future he prevented by snitching on G-Dizzy, so no one except Zelda saw Link as anything except a kid>last form: Fierce Deity>a form that Link can only achieve by helping everyone in Termina with their troubles, which are all about very mature and adult things like grief, remorse, the complexities of romance and parenthood, and naturally the fear of imminent death>in the process, Link learns what it means to be an adult, and he becomes more of an adult himself (compare to Link in OoT, who simply couldn't understand what Ruto was talking about when she gave him the Zora Sapphire because he was too naive)>he's no longer a child in an adult's body, now he's an adult in a child's body, and the Fierce Deity symbolizes the man he is on the inside>in every other form, Majora towers over Link like a playground bully, and the fight is a lot harder>but in Fierce Deity form, Link is the adult, putting the disobedient child in their place
>>741891175this makes too much sense
