To me it was as if this was a lame excuse to get away from the boredom of Hyrule and Zelda keeping Link around as an adorable little pet of some sort.

I agree, I just wouldn't put it that way.
When Link came to after remembering leaving Zelda, suddenly he's not Link, but this silly little Deku Scrub who got his Ocarina and horse stolen and is going to die in this forsaken place far from home. If anything would shake him out of his funk...I think this realization may.

And as a Zelda X Link debater, it's the one scene that I can't discount easily and therefore dislike. I would bet at the time the dev's likely knew how popular Malon was, and purposely put that in there for the Malon x Link fans in the interest of the satisfying everyone. ( like Link and Zelda holding hands in
TP ) But I don't for a moment think Link seriously loved Malon.
I think in the end of
OoT he was dealing with physical realization that "it's over" by seeing himself small again. Then Navi leaves, the bells toll and it's "the End". But he still has a second chance with Zelda, so off he goes. ( I thought that look meant determination vs anger )
