Its a PR talk.He probably cant go and say "I didnt add a female option because I dont want to".And I agree with him that I much prefer to have Zelda playable or a new female protagonist, rather than make the (stupid) decision to make Link female for some random reason.
My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.
