Love_of_zelda - Thank you very much! I enjoyed reading your lengthy paragraphs on your thoughts and views, and it's no doubt that you have some insight to this matter.
While i was writing it, i was slightly narrow about the idea for a while.
I hear so many threads and posts about the love issue between the two.
Things like, they are 'suicidal' for each other , real hard core material, Which put me off quite a bit!
Then i started thinking that considering all those posts, there IS a majority that like to believe there is a love story behind the two, so i couldn't help but appeal to that.
Trying not to spoil, my intention would be that they really do find each other attractive, but their personalities cloud each other from seeing this. Zelda, a princess who has always kept strong and independent, being a member of the royal family tries to believe that such a scruffy boy is the least likely prince.
And visa versa for Link, he doesn't intend to start anything with girls. Especially a 'stuck up, big headed know it all' - as Link might say!
This would what would portray from the start, but would evolve. It becomes inevitable that Link's resourcefulness, wit and courage influcence zelda, in which she begins to let go of the concept that 'all scruffy boys are trouble' and is yet some what attracted to this wild, adventurous boy. Not because of his looks, but it's what she really dreams of, being confined to the castle walls, being guarded closely every day. She wants to taste the freedom that Link gets everyday. A prince and the pauper scenario slightly!
Link gets some what hostile when it seems Zelda can piece a puzzle faster than Link can, something that Link over looks and begins to see in zelda.
Their relationship really builds on them
trying to get along in order to save hyrule, rather than them wanting to be together.

Heck, his age would affect the appeal to audiences. I wouldn't be surprised if it were considered a kid's movie if Link is a child. Peter Pan gets away with it simply because it's a widely known classic (yet Hook was better than the recent film, in my opinion).

He would start the first film as 12/13 , then pacing on to 14/15 in the next, until finally 16/17 in the last.
As the story evolves, Link Matures not only in form, but by mind too.
