I kinda think a gender swap on the main character is a token nod. I'd rather they come up with a completely new design for a female "version of Link" not named Link and have her be the only playable main character or simply have a whole Legend of Zelda game featuring Zelda.
You could have Link as a support character or have him not be there at all, I don't care. But I think merely giving you a "choose male or female design" option at the beginning of the game for a protagonist as iconic as Link is just... eh.
