having a female Link would be no good, the whole point is that Link is like part of a prophecy that periodically arrises; to change something as fundamental as him being a male would be akin to changing his main weapon from a sword to a gun- it just is not true to the franchise
I dig female heroes but I would encourage creating maybe a Zelda adventure game in which you PLAY as Zelda specifically rather than corrupt The Legend of Zelda with numerous choices and decisions regarding character
what makes Zelda games so good is that you can jump into them and just sort of have to accept how it is. its weirdly immersive and easy because we always sort of know what to expect in terms of basic storyline and character. I like that, its refreshing in today's gaming world where company's are constantly trying to give players option and creativity
oddly enough sometimes a little barriers and structure in terms of storyline and character can be nice
I don't see a female Link in that original link anyway, but I certainly don't think it would be a good idea. imagine changing Mario to a girl, or Samus a guy. simply because Link has a bit of a feminine look at times in the face does not equate the need to give the character a sex change or sex option. that's just a terrible idea
