Moving away from the whole sexualisation stuff (which is easily one reason why I feel SE shouldn't make any more playable childlike characters), let's go for something more lore focused. Toon/Young Link isn't an army general/lieutenant, which is something you can kinda become in FFXIV with GC Squadrons. I feel that no one, even NPC's, would like their superior to be a naive/know-it-all/prodigy teenager (I hated when Alphinaud became the leader of the Crystal Braves, but loved it when it exploded in his face).

There are other reasons why I don't want younger than 18 year old's to be playable in this game, but those are personal "I hate children protagonist" feelings... though I'll give Young/Toon Link a pass because at least he doesn't talk.
