He's 16, I think. Your Grandmother say that once a boy turns sixteen than they are considered a man since that was how old the Hero of Time was. I think that's how it goes...

I've always thought he was 16 years old, but looked like he was 11..

He is ten. They say at the beginning that since the hero of time disappeared, they gave green tunics to boys on their 10th birthday hoping one of them would be the next hero. Although not a hundred percent, I am pretty sure that's what it said at the beginning.
If we are to assume that Iwata Asks interviews are true, then we could asume that WW Link is 9 years old if the Coming of Age matches with the Young Link's age during his journey:

Doesn't the Wind Waker say that Link is a 12 year old, and that wearing the Hero's clothing a coming-out-age ceremonial event. Plus, Link does look like a 12 year old, so might as well be it.

My guess would be 12, because he seems fairly young yet slightly older than OoT Link (as young Link).

No one is really sure about Link's age in any of the games, not even Nintendo it seems sometimes since they keep changing it on us 
. All we know is that in some games, he appears to be a kid, and in others, he appears to be an adult, then there's OoT where he appears to be a kid in present time and an adult seven years in the future. For all we know, Link could be 16 in WW since it's supposed to be parallel to TP which is said for the Link in that game to be 16. No one really knows what Link's true age is cause Nintendo can't seem make up their darn minds in which is why Namco didn't bother with Link's age when they had him guest star in SC II, thus leaving it unknown.

9. Wind Waker Link is supposed to be the same age as OoT Link to get the tunic. Nintendo has confirmed OoT Link was five. If we go by appearance alone, the other Links are also 9. Makes sense...although he looks a little younger.
Anyway, don't trust Brawl. There's nothing canonically factual about what that series says. Like the infamous redead mistake in Melee.

There's no way Link is nine in that game. I'm running with twelve; could've sworn it said in-game that he was 12 anyway.

Lots of voices are saying nine but "coming of age" isn't 9 over here. Japanese canon he is 9 I assume, but in 'murica I'm running with 12.

TWW Toon Link must be at least 12. I really can't see him as 9 years of age, that just doesn't seem right. Nowhere in the ZD Wiki text dump for this game does it state his age, therefore all ages theorized thus far are non-canon, but 12 seems to be the most logical, if any.

Nintendo's confirmed OoT Link is 9. I'd say he looks 10, but I can live with 9. Opening of Wind Waker says he's the same age as OoT Link, so that'd be 9...honestly, though, he looks like he's 6 or 7.
Source?

Iwata Asks - Miyamoto on The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time development, details, problems and more | GoNintendo - What are YOU waiting for?
- Miyamoto didn’t want to make the game without Young Link
- In Legend of Zelda, Link is about 12 years old. In Adventures of Link he is 16
- Miyamoto wanted Link to be somewhat cool, but not too cool
- the idea of having a 9 and 16 year old version of Link in Ocarina of Time gave birth to all sorts of ideas
