If players are meant to identify with Link and project themselves onto the character, a female Link should have always been an option for obvious reasons. I hope this happens in future Zelda titles because it might force Nintendo is make Link more of a blank slate again. Nintendo has been giving Link his own personality and he's reacting to the world and other characters beyond player input which is fine if that's what they want to do, but it also contradicts the original point of Link. Either go all-in with characterization (which includes improving the story, dialog etc.), or reel it back; make it more about the adventure and less cinematic.
