I did read your post and my 'misogynistic fanboys' comment wasn't directed at you. I'm sorry for the offence. It was meant at the people who don't want a female Link because they don't want to play as a woman (also the people who want a female link as 'fap material': grow up children)
I get why you want Link to continue to be a male character. But I don't think it's necessary, there's more than one Link and aside from Legend of Zelda/Link's Adventure, Ocarina of Time/Majoras Mask, and Windwaker/Phantom Hourglass, each Link is a new hero.
Why can't one of the Heros of Legend be female? I think it would allow for interesting story telling; especially given that with each new Zelda, Link's personality becomes more and more fully fledged.
I think a female Link who pretends to be male in order to save the world, a la Mulan, would be brilliant. Or a female Link whose village gets destroyed and seeks to return the world to rights. Or a female Link who starts as a servant to Zelda, but becomes a hero in response to Zelda being taken. Or any number of stories.
Legend of Zelda has, since OoT, been a largely feminist game series and none more so than Skyward Sword, after all, Zelda's saved the world well before Link's even discovered his own destiny. Hell, for half the game you're trying to chase her down whilst her and Impa are busy kicking ass. A female Link would cement that theme into Zelda and I think it's about time.
