Ticks of the trade.
However, I - and other fans - think we may have sussed it.
just note, there are someminor Tears of the Kingdom spoilers below.
This suggests that Link is not at the legal drinking age in Hyrule.
The most obvious clue here is how certain characters have aged between the two games.
In Breath of the Wild, Tulin is significantly younger.
I would place him at around eight, tops.
Roughly, it feels there is around five years between the two games.
Again, this would mean roughly five years have passed since Breath of the Wild.
This makes Tears of the Kingdom’s version of Link one of the oldest ones yet.
Cheers, buddy - after all these years, you’ve earned it!
