You're not technically incorrect, as I edited my post with a spoiler to discuss, but it's a big stretch to say you're playing as a female Venom Snake.

 

I know it was a stretch, I just tried to point out that a FemSnake wouldn't be incompatible with the Metal Gear Solid universe, just like a Female Link isn't with Zelda's one.

But, still, I'm wrong with that example. I check back my own file and yup, you can't edit the Singleplayer MGSV avatar to be a female, you're always stuck with the male option. You can only edit it on the online portion of the game.

I wouldn't disagree with you there. If they were to create a Metal Gear Solid 6 where you play as the female clone of Solid Snake (or Meryl's hypothetical daughter for that matter) I don't think that would be incompatible with the universe they've presented so far.

As for Zelda, I don't think they would have an issue either. As far as I know (and i could be wrong, I was never that into Zelda lore) Every Link and Zelda are the part of the same lineage, it's just Link/Zelda from X point in time or that Link/Zelda's great great great great grandchildren or some sort. I don't see how having a female Link or a male Zelda would break that.
