There is no "female Link". Link is Link. It's a person. A male person.
Just like there is no male Samus, because Samus is a girl.

And like others have already stated, just imagine the "male oppression" outrage if people actually wanted Samus to be male...


If they actually offered you a choice, wouldn't that lessen the story? Because, multiple characters would mean that any one of those could become the hero of time/master sword/bane of evil etc. In other words, there would not be anything special about the character you're playing, you just stumble upon the sword and the triforce. That would mess with the story. Artistic integrity, please. Link is Link, and if you want a different lead then ask Nintendo for spinoff games.
