So with the new trailer for Zelda Wii U, there has been some unrest about whether the character shown is Link, and if so, is it a male or female? So here's my question... Who do you think the character in the trailer is? And who do you wish it was?
As for me, I think the character shown is a male Link. I don't see why anybody thinks otherwise. There's just nothing pointing to it being a girl... And I also hope that's what it is. I don't want to play as Zelda (well, I'd be okay if you could play as her, but with Link being the main character), I don't want to play as Aryll, I don't want to play as genderbent Link... I want to play as LINK, the iconic, ever unchanged protagonist we've come to know and love. There's no reason to change him, and I honestly think it would upset more people than it would please.
But that's not what this thread is for, it's for YOUR opinions. Vote in the poll, and discuss below!
EDIT: So apparently, Aonuma has stated that his comment about the character not necessarily being Link was a joke, and that it was, indeed, Link. He goes on to say that he "doesn't want people to get hung up on the looks of Link", and that he purposefully "didn't define him so much that it becomes limiting to the players". However, this quote came from a site I've never heard of before; MMGN, an Australian Wii U fan-site. Could be fake.

EDIT 2: Picture of the interwiever with Aonuma. Name tag says MMGN, so assuming this isn't a photoshop, this seems legit.
