A Link in Time
As we all know Link from Ocarina of Time goes through several time warps, sadly none with Riff Raff, according to Einstein time travel is impossible due to paradoxes, so how can Link jump from Kid to Adult in no time flat. My theory of the whole thing is that the Master Sword is actually parasitic if you will, feeding off the wielder while it is in the pedestal, the entire Temple of Time runs off Link's lifeforce, with the Master Sword bleeding excess energy into time travel. Why do you think it is so unworldly powerful? That power has to come from somewhere and everything has a cost, Link just didn't know it was his life force. While you are playing as a Kid Link, Adult Link is seven years in the future holding the Master Sword, frozen in suspended animation. Never knowing what he is missing. Life very slowly being drained into the blade. As soon as kid Link touches the Master Sword, Adult Link is freed to continue the quest. Now you must ask how can the Links see what the other has? Really they can't. The menu screen is for you, the player and even then you cannot equip Adult Link with Kid Link items. Bottles and the Hylian Shield are an exception due to the fact that they are magical in nature. You find the shield in a grave and even then kid Link cannot use it except for turtle impressions and the bottles can turn one bug into three. At the end of the game where Adult Link is transferred to being a kid again? That is because Kid Link is now Adult Link and is recharging the Master Sword in a feedback loop. Majora's Mask is what happened the first time you get lost in the Lost Woods and don't play the game for a month. How do you think Link gets so damn good with a sword so quick and can talk to Deku Scrubs for discounts? They shoot at you because they don't recognize you without your mask.
