Because if he's being fed all the tools and powerss by someone else and just being guided around by a chosen one leash, he's not really a hero, just some divine errand boy. Links spends almost no time making any decisions for himself and spends the vast majority of it being told to go and do something.
The only Link I'd say really has much agency is Linkle.
Okay, so how about this? Link in Wind Waker makes pretty much every decision for himself. He wasn't born worthy, he made himself worthy. Do you still think that Link was chosen? It was already established that he had no connection to the Hero of Time in the game. The only reason he did what he did was to save his sister. The same can be said about Link from Twilight Princess. His decision to become the new Hero was fuelled by a desire to save his friends. The only Link we can say was born from the get-go to follow divine instruction was the Hero of Time. And so what if there is divine instruction? It doesn't mean anything. I'm not a fan of this "anybody can do it" mentality.
