This gels real nicely with something I noticed about the Kokiri whom Link was raised alongside.

The Kokiri seem to have a gendered dress code. Boys like Mido, the shopkeep, and the Know-It-All Brothers wear pointy hats, shirts (or a tank in Mido's case), shorts, and green shoes; girls like Fado and Generic Kokiri Girl, on the other hand, wear headbands, long-skirted sleeveless tunics, and tall brown boots. Now take a look at Link:

Link's outfit mixes and matches elements from both "uniforms": a Kokiri boy's hat and sleeves with a Kokiri girl's long tunic and tall brown boots. A big theme in Ocarina of Time is that Link is a bridge between multiple pairs of different "worlds" without truly belonging to any of them: Kokiri and Hylian, child and adult, hero and victim. Bridging the masculine and feminine without being either fits right in with all this.
