She's a tomboy :OoT Zelda:

Yep I believe Zelda in OoT as a child had a love of adventure and I think of her as an expert archer (given how she gives you the light arrows later in the game). She could've even found stuff like building secret hideouts and littering them with traps fun too. Not sure if the gossip stone was to spoil the "Zelda is Sheik" thing though, but I remember first playing OoT and some soldier going "the princess would never grant an audience to you" which made me think she had a hell of an attitude and that she'd probably point a crossbow at Link and tell him to leave (course she didn't do that to you in the game, but pretty sure she might've toward Ganondorf).

Course I think too the adult Zelda also never changed in her attitude except that she got all teary-eyed from the "accidents" that happened during the game like how Ganondorf went "yoink" and then nuking Hyrule with one snap of the fingers later.
