I'm all for it. However, link has been confirmed to be a boy and I actually vouched for a girl link on that video! I just think it would open up a different way of approaching how link would act. It's kinda like Avatar, Aang was a male and then the next reincarnation was a female. I just think Zelda needs more variety and stronger roles for female characters. Hyrule warriors has the strongest roles for females in Zelda that I've ever seen. What can I say, I don't like playing as dudes all the time.

but why link and not zelda or a new character... that's what I don't understand, honestly.

Because, chances are the new character probably wouldn't have a leading role in a Zelda game. We just think that Zelda will always be unplayable (although games like Mario 3DW made peach playable). I don't see Nintendo allowing Zelda to actually be a character you control. Plus, did I mention a female link has never been done before! It's not like reincarnation is sexist or anything.
