Should There Be A Female Link or Maybe a Game Starring Zelda?

No, no, No!!! Exactly the same way I don't want to see a male Samus,
a male Lara Croft (no not Drake, like Larry Croft)
A female Sherlock Holmes (Yes Shirley Holmes, that was a direct dig at you)
A female/black Doctor who
A white Othello
A female James Bond
A female (Janette) Bourne

why? Because it's pissing on an originally agreed set of principals, it's an affront to what has already been established, this is one path of PC equality I'll be happy to live without.

The difference though is that all of those are singular characters, but Link is not the same person everytime, he's more of an archetype.  And since he isn't going around Hyrule slinging his dick around or screwing anything that moves I don't think changing the character to a female would really change much of anything.  Not like he's a burly muscleman anyway, half the time I see a person dressed up as Link it's a woman.  Only reason I can think that they shouldn't make a game with Link as a woman is because it wouldn't change anything and would therefore just be an attempt to look controversial, but I disagree with the idea that it pisses on Link's set of principles.
