Who's everyone?
Each game in the Metroid series it's the same Samus but this isn't the case in Zelda series. Link is just the playable character and majority of times it's a different person essentially, there is nothing that says he can't be a she.
However these is one thing, gamers need to get over themselves and let the developers make the games they want to make and if this means sticking to tradition like such a simple thing that Link is male then leave it be. But hey, I guess in Zelda games, changing the setting, the story, the landscape, the design, the art style, the gameplay isn't enough for some people.
The idea that in order level up the playing field for male/female protagonists you shoehorn in a well known male role as female suddenly is slightly insulting when instead you could create a game with a female lead of their own right.
Hmm, pie.
