So to me there was nothing in the game that indicated any type of romance in Link being attracted to Zelda as Sheikah, and if for some reason there was it would only indicate to me that Link has homosexual feelings and nothing more.

Something to consider. Most are quick to label the things Sheik says as referring solely to the mission: " Young love becomes deep affection " -> Ruto's situation etc....has it ever been considered that Zelda's words may have had a double meaning? As in referring to herself as well? She can easily be talking about herself and Link as well. Same with "The power of the heart" and such.
As for how Link felt about Sheik, I've always seen it as him getting confusing feelings because he doesn't realize it's Zelda underneath. This personality is attracting him, yet not the appearance.

So I don't think its that unbelievable to believe that his relationship/friendship with Malon is every bit as important as his relationship with Zelda.

IMO, if I followed the game's inference's, I would judge Zelda as more important. He doesn't remember Malon in an emotional cutscene, and when he sees Romani for the first time ( the spitting image of Malon ) he runs right past without even a glance to get to Epona. It's very possible Epona means more to him than Malon and his association may be only to get Epona.

No it wouldn't. All I am saying is that Zelda in love sets Link free. Just because he is free to go to Malon doesn't mean he would desire to. You may have misunderstood me: "She" was Zelda, not Malon. If I had to judge Malon, I'd see her more likely to tie him down than Zelda ever would. Look at the way she handles her father. Link wouldn't likely get a free pass to leave whenever he wanted to.

Or because he knew how important it was to her to make things right. Link looked hesitant...he knew he would have to give up being an adult and all that went with it.
I don't agree with you. If Link had wanted to be normal, he would have walked away from the Temple of Time and never seen Zelda again. Instead he went right back to Zelda's side and resumed contact with her.
