As far as gender goes, Link is definitely a male, but I wanted to create a character where anybody would be able to relate to the character.” Hence I created the version of Link that you see in Breath of the Wild. But after Twilight Princess I went back to the drawing board and decided Link should be a more gender-neutral character.
