A Female Link In Legend Of Zelda Makes Perfect Sense

Not only is it time for a female Link in 'Legend of Zelda,' it is long overdue. When you think of the various characteristics that define Link as a hero in Legend of Zelda, what traits come to mind? Courage? Bravery? A willingness to sacrifice oneself for the greater good? A desire to help those in need? On a visual level, what defines Link? A fondness of green clothing? A sword and shield? Blonde hair? Pointy ears? And what about Link's role in various Legend of Zelda narratives? Link is strong, yet silent, doing what needs to be done for the sake of the story but never elaborating on it.
