In SharePoint 2010 the termstore management link is available for site owners by default. This link is missing in SharePoint 2013 for site owners. Being a site owner, they should be able to navigate to the link in site settings.  The first thing to check is if you have the permissions (Owners) on the site.

With every version of SharePoint Microsoft changes a lot that its hard to adjust with new version. It takes bit of time to get used to the new changes in new version. Just an example In SharePoint 2007 the Site Actions menu was in the right corner of the screen, in SharePoint 2010 the Site Actions moved to left of the screen, again in SharePoint 2013 the Site Actions(gear icon) is moved to the right corner of the screen. In SharePoint 2010 the ribbon is by default selected when an item is selected, but in SharePoint 2013 the ribbon is not selected by default. So I tried hard to find a setting which can help in enabling the ribbon by default. But no luck. Tried searching a lot but didn't find a direct way to do so. Here in this article I will help you in enabling the ribbon when selecting an item in SharePoint 2013.
