i think that theres a connection of links age and the "same link in each game is dealt on the way of there past.....hero of time.....droped to be rased by the deku tree...in some games is he a real korkiri or like in loz oot is he a hylian who knows .....but maybe you can trace it back to other games and find some simularities...well who knows but its still a game and its always good to have some mysteries...i mean everybody here loves zelda like me others and readers.....i like the merchandise too ive downloaded alot of the cool ringtones featured on this site too (not that has anything to do with my theory but......) about the age thing....twighlight princes hes 17 then hes turned older....and in orcarina of time same thing .but...he starts young and doesnt even end the game at the age of a "kid" in twighlight princess i will make many more posts this was really good message its ok to love the game
