Nintendo Zelda U - Clearly female link in image.

[PAOerfulone]

Whether they continue to have Link male, or make him female, I honestly don't care.
I just want the first true HD Zelda game to the best possible game it can be. What gender the main protagonist is, does not matter to me in the slightest in that regard.
Give it the best aspects of the open world formula that you're incorporating while still remembering and perfecting what makes the Legend of Zelda, the Legend of Zelda.
