Sure Zelda seemed very saddened that he was leaving but I think it was more that he happened to be this little kid about to embark on a dangerous journey so naturally she was saddened if not worried. But Link just seemed in his innocent fun loving self "I know your sad Zelda, but I want to go on an adventure right now because I'm just this adorable fun loving little kid with too much pent up energy to stick around with you all the time and boring old Hyrule"

I disagree: I don't remotely think Link was happy-go-lucky in MM. ( especially not the beginning ) He had just come off a huge adventure and seen much blood and death...and his partner throughout it all just up and left. If anything, I think he was feeling depressed. If he seemed less than empathetic towards Zelda, I think that may have been the cause. Not a lack of love or importance of her on his part. ( Okay, so maybe this wasn't a good example of him showing spine as he was out of character ) When she was his memory in the face of his impending death, that spoke more to me about regret and his thoughts than anything else did.

I have no doubt that kid Link was capable of being attracted to pretty ladies ( Cremia, obviously ) just I don't think he was himself when he left Hyrule. If it had been Adult Link, I don't think the scene would have been any different: he still would have been effectively out of character. The other "parting" from the ending of
OoT had Adult Link likewise leave Adult Zelda, and the mood was very sad: but he was in his right mind in the end. He submitted to her wishes and went back but only to go straight back to her when he could.
