I think part of it is that he's a different person almost every game so unless the Legend of Zelda world is sexist in how it picks its heroes there's no particular reason that Link couldn't be female for one iteration. If Link were a single established character (like Samus which you bring up) then I doubt it would be as highly suggested. It's because with the character it makes sense and if you have a character which is a hero chosen by destiny with a fresh person everytime and you never get a female hero that seems to say something about how this world chooses its saviors.
