// Zachary.

So IDK if this is the norm on Tumblr but I'm gonna do this anyways! This is gonna be a bit of a long one just to give people a good insight on me and what I'm interested in but here's the basic stuff: -I have three names I'm chill with. Zach, Adam, and Logan! -I'm 16 and a HALF at the time of writing this -he/it + any neopronouns you can imagine i dont mind -im a recovering twitter user -i LOVE talking, this unlimited word count is going to be my JAM -I am not officially diagnosed however I am researched and self diagnosed with autism, bipolar, and social anxiety. All three DO run in my family so, it's likely -also not officially diagnosed but i am plural. i don't know what has caused it or what i have (memory gaps) but it's there

I have a strawpage too!

Below the line I have all sorts of unnecessary fun facts about me! WOO!

In bigger communities such as Hateno, they're considered of adult age when they grow into their ears (similar to some species of cat and dog growing into their paws). In Lurelin, it's when they can man a boat by themselves. In Castle Town it was when they could be accepted into the guard.

In smaller communities such as ones built around stables or outposts, it was when they could go out on their own.

They varied a little, but overall the agreement across Hyrule is that a Hylian is mature at 20 years. The youngest out of any civilized species, considering their short lifespan. This can obviously double as their drinking age.

There are different coming of age rituals, such as bringing back the guts of a monster, going on a fishing or hunting trip, or even just joining the royal guard (which I imagine is a lot like joining military in some families, that is to say, an expectation rather than a career choice).

And this is all to say that, given that this could be the case, not only can Link not order a drink, but in most places he wouldn't be allowed out of village limits alone. If he wasn't chosen by the Master Sword, he probably wouldn't have been able to join the guard.
