persona 3 portable changed things up a lot for the female option because persona 3 is a game built entirely around social interactions and dynamics and as such the way you interact with characters demands for it to change the way they view you. zelda is an action adventure game with parts where you talk to people.

if nintendo wants to write compelling characters from a gender-specific standpoint then i'm totally okay with them not implementing a gender option, but if they are going to implement a gender option then i don't think things being more gender neutral is going to negatively affect the quality of the writing nearly as much as you're saying it is. maybe it means they won't be able to do certain things, but those are limited to pretty specific examples you're giving, and if the story they've written doesn't depend on those gender-specific bits of writing, there shouldn't be any big problem with it
