I don't have a problem with a female Link but I do have a problem with there being an option for a female Link. It makes Link into more of a player avatar and less of a character of his own.
Take OOT for example. When Link goes to rescue the carpenters from the Gerudo, the Gerudo eventually become impressed with him and accept him as one of their own, despite Gerudo law stating that there would only be one Gerudo man every hundred years. I don't think this would have had the same impact if you were playing as a female character. Having the option between male/female seems to me like it restricts writing for the sake of being gender neutral.
With that said, I'm all for the option if they do something like Persona 3 Portable where the female character has a shit ton of unique dialogue options and the rest of the cast reacts differently in certain situations. I just don't think Nintendo would do that.
