I mean, I hear people when they say Link is iconic... but only because we made him iconic. Why is Wind Waker Link iconic? They took a well-established Link image and turned it into a ridiculous cartoon boy with disproportionate limbs. God forbid we even have the *option* to change his gender. If Zelda U is good and has a female Link, she will be iconic. Woop de doo.
Beyond that, all anyone can argue with is conjecture about how the writing might take a hit because they might have to put effort into writing scenarios applicable to both sexes which... isn't really much of a leg to stand on in my submission.
