I've always liked Link being a bit on the younger side. It just adds to the fairy tale feeling of the series and gives the character a weird sort of nostalgic relatability to it's older fans and gives somebody for the younger fans to look up to. I wouldn't mind seeing him age in the game kind of like OoT did, it gives a good visual cue to the progression you've made in the game.

 

[Dragoncat]

15-19. Young, but not too young for the shipping that WILL happen.

 

[tketle]

I'd like Link to be around 11-13 in the next 3D game, in a style other than Wind Waker's. We haven't seen such a thing since Majora's Mask, fourteen years ago.

 

[Salem]

younger than the adult Links, older than than young Links, so I dunno.

 

[Dimooshky]

10-14, Teenage Link is good

And he will hit puberty during the course of the game

I like Link as a teenager as he was in Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess. It seems more fitting for a story that shows someone growing as a character and a hero. Also, I feel like Teen Link is more easier to relate to.

 

[Ocarina_Player]

I always thought as the older link from AoL, OoT, Tp, and SS to be in the 16-18 range, and that's what I've always liked best. Not that child Link isn't adorable and I don't love him to death, but I've always felt the older Links were more relatable, even when I was a younger kid.

 

[Snow Queen]

I really want old man Link. Younger Link is getting old, and an older, more mature Link would make things mighty interestings.

 

[mαrkαsscoρ]

15 for some reason

 

[Cransoon]

I've been playing Link as a 10-20 year old guy for 30 years (well, 21 in my case). I want something new. I'd love to see an older Link in a future Zelda game. It would make for a really interesting story.

 

[Ocarina_Player]

Well you've already had zombie Link if the rumors about the warrior in TP are true.... :p

 

[snakeoiltanker]

I'm Bias on this as i chose 20-27, That is the age group i fall in... Kinda! LOL

I have always wanted a more adult Link, as in Older than OoT adult link. Also if we were to actually get a 20 something Link, I'm guessing it would most likely be a Sequel to a past game.... You all know you wanna see Link finish out his life after OoT (in the adult timeline where Zelda didnt send him back in time of course).

In that timeline the world was flooded cuz a hero was never born, that being cuz Link finished out his life as an adult in Hyrule Post sealing Ganon. In AoL we had all of ganons Goons seeking revenge on Link to try and revive their master. Well that kinda sounds like it would fit right in line with a Post OoT story.

Just sayin'!

 

[Pandanation]

15-19 since this is the age group that Nintendo has shifted to. Also because that young link isn't really popular as adult link but adult link doesn't feel like hes 20+ but a young adult/teenager. So being a relatable character, it could add new view points for the game from puzzles that require over-thinking hints and taking things literally, to having more of a choice in what kind of quest you want to set off on (being a hero, an anonymous hero, or simply a normal person rising from the ashes)

 

[Mellow Ezlo]

I said 15-19, though I'd probably also go with 10-14.

This is simply because TP Link is my favourite incarnation of Link. I think he has a great design, and it seems like the right age for a hero.
