Never doubted that the character in the trailer was Link, I wasn't really sure whether they were male or female though.
It doesn't really matter to me. I'm more concerned with whether the world I'll be playing in is interesting and whether the gameplay itself is fun.
A female Link would be an interesting twist on Zelda's traditions, and if that was the case this time or ever is in the future, then I'm sure it'll be awesome. But I don't think people should be overly concerned with Link's gender to begin with. He's a mute character with a silent protagonist personality that is open to the player's interpretation. His personality isn't going to really change regardless of his gender.
Also, if female Link is going to happen, I want it to be something they plan from the start that directly impacts the world and story that they build for us. Though I think Link's gender would have a minimal impact on his/her personality, I think creating a female Link for the first time would definitely affect the world and story that the developers build for us.
But either way, gender isn't really a concern of mine in a game like this. I'm more interested in the experience they're trying to create, and as long as that's solid, I'm fine with whatever.
