Of course its not a positive step.If it were like Dragon Age where it was already a custom, or a game which the main protagonist is an avatar, it would be great.But Link is a caracther, and one with almost 30 years with story behind him.If Aonuma wanted to go with a new female protagonist for Zelda U, then I would be fine with it, because its another caracther.But here is implying that it would be a female Link.And Link is a male caracther, not an avatar.

It would be like if you played Metal Gear Solid and you had the choice to play betwenn a male or female Snake.Just.... ugh.

Well said-   If you can make a longstanding male character optional between make and female then it really suspends/cheapens anything cannon in the storyline       I hope Nintendeo does not go full SJW in the West  but it seems they are well on their way

Link is not a character with 30 years of storylines behind him.  He's like 12 characters with one or 2 stories behind each of them.  Each character is distinct from the other, so there is no real reason why one couldn't be a female.  Plus, the character has been generally written in such a way that him being female wouldn't make much of a difference.
