Nathan Drake is a pretty gritty male character though. It's central to the character's persona. 

Link has always been very effiminate and andrognous, akin to Peter Pan where is a mute avatar basically for the player with no distinct personality. 

I mean half the Link cosplayers are women and no one bats an eyelash. 

This is a woman dressed up as Link. Looks like ... Link. 

Women make the best Link cosplayers because the character is so effeminate to begin with. 

And that justifies Link being a girl how....?

Just because a character looks more girly than others justify it changing gender?No offense, but the argument is veryyy bad.I mean, Nathan Drake is a fit guy, but he has a fat version.So should every fit and musculous guy change into a fat one?You know where Im getting at.

It justifies the OPTION of having a female Link since masculinity is not really integral to the character as he/she basically has zero gender specific personality to begin other than being vaguely "determined" (whereas Drake being a man is central to the character's personality). And yes the character looks so much like a woman to begin with that you may as well have the option if people want it. 

Hey like I said if a guy just needs his Link to have a dick and balls, great, you have that option too, I don't see it impacting any one's play experience. 

For Link I think it works fine. For other characters not so much perhaps.
