The game's ESRB rating reveals that Link will also be playable, at least at some point:

Maybe you play as Zelda in the overworld and Link in the "dark world" that he gets sucked into in the trailer?

I think people are interpreting this the wrong way. During the direct they said pretty much the same thing, pointing out they didn't just want Zelda to become a female version of Link. The paragraph even starts by stating that we assume the role of Zelda. They are making a comparison to other Zelda games, not confirming Link is playable.

It's a summary of the game's content for the purposes of an age rating; there would be no need to mention Link's gameplay at all if it wasn't in the game.

Maybe you just play as Link in the opening before swapping to Zelda, but if the ESRB felt the need to describe it in their assessment, it must be in there.
