People have their reasons I suppose but I'm personally not very enthusiastic about having a female Link. I wouldn't go berserk but I'd definitely see it as a huge lost opportunity to create a female Link when you can make a game starring Zelda instead. Not only would that be a great way of making a Legend of Zelda game with a female protagonist, it would also be a good opportunity to put a twist on the formula.
Creating a female Link would also open the door for a male Zelda, because I'm quite sure those highborn people get sons once in a while, and the thought of a male Zelda doesn't make me very happy either.
