I can't remember ever seeing a black guy or girl in Zelda by the way. I guess the Gerudo can be quite tan, but that's about it.

Most Japanese games in generalrarely have black people and honestly, it's probably better that way considering how some attempts to include turned out. I do wonder however, why they pander to white people so much. It almost seems like some sort of complex.

Japanese often draw themselves white. They probably see Link as Japanese. 

And that's exactly what I was getting at. I have seen art from Japan where the people look obviously east Asian but most of the stuff they churn out just look like white people to me. This happens even in games that are meant for the Japanese audience alone.
