I really dislike the idea of a female link.
I think it goes against the "story" and brand that the zelda franchise is.
Its doing something just for the sake of doing it

Oh, really? How come? Why would it go against the "brand" that Zelda Franchise is?

Hes always been a boy/man.

A link thats suddenly a girl, would break away from what your brand is, and people expect from a main line zelda game.

Its the wrong way to do it.

If you want a strong female lead that saves the world, dont just force a reskin of link, into the body of a female.

Make a new character, and a new game for that, instead.
