Imagine the Virtual Boy themed retro release of their new technology...

@Mogan: I think you're probably right. But they'll put some kind of spin on it that will divide new/old players...

It's the mystery that keeps people keen - remove that with details, previews, hands-on and eventually play-throughs and you'll see interest drop like a red herb in an ammo factory.

@Fantasy_Dragon: It's pandering.

@Jinzo_111887: Neither did Link's CD-i game, who goes to show that gender has no impact on audience reception.

There was a game with Zelda as the lead:

Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon

It would have to be true that those calling for a female Link would have to support the call for a male Samus, which I believe will one day come about.

Nobody complained that Link was Link in the original game...

It's a light and breezy sale, without a lot of substance. Quite like a picnic...

@catsimboy: Good points.
