Yeah, it blew me away as a kid, but it's not really a particularly meaningful plot twist, looking at it as somebody with a bit more experience with game stories under my belt, it really doesn't amount to much. It just means that "in some mysterious way, Link isn't a normal Kokiri and therefore can leave the forest and also grows up" isn't actually all that mysterious because he's just straight up not a Kokiri and can therefore be expected to work the same way as any Hylian. If anything, it takes the foreshadowing that there was something weird about Link and just defuses it with "nah, he's just a regular dude" instead of any deeper story twist. --- This is my signature.
