I think Link's always been a boy, but it's Nintendo's game, if they want to give people the choice of being a male or female Link it doesn't really matter too much.
There were people speculating that the character in Nintendo's first trailer for the game since the Wii U was announced was actually Zelda.

Given that The Legend of Zelda is the name this game could actually have you play as Zelda, rather than Link.

What I find far more interesting than all of the gender discussion is the possibility that this TLOZ may actually be a current gen remake of the original NES game, some people believe that the maps actually match up with major landmarks that have been seen in the stuff that's been revealed about the Wii U game so far.

Whatever happens to be the case about the gender of the character you play or the overall setting do the game I just can't wait to get my hands on this and Starfox later this year. Hopefully more details are given about both later this month in the rumored Nintendo event.
