Almost definitely not playable female link seeing as she has no sword or sheild and a bag that link does not (I don't think?) have. Just her feel seems very zelda-like

Why you still so against the idea.
I think they said "No Female Link." They didn't say anything about "No playable Female" now did they? Zelda, specifically.
Maybe because people asked the wrong question, they got that answer.
People always asked for female Link or letting you change Link to female, but never asked if a new different female character was playable.
So its technically not a backpedal, neither was a lie: is not female Link, neither is a toggle. Is a new character.
Who knows. XD

I thought the dev already made excuses why they will not have female playable?
Yeah but Aonuma made some backward ass comments. I really doubt it.

What about if you can play as either a boy or girl, but like in Pokémon you meet the other one as another character. 
Female Link
They didn't say anything about no Playable Female Character OR Playable Female Zelda

Think of it as life after Hyrule. People have to find a place to live and caves are not always suitable. Some will build shoddy houses, some small villages. It's still very much a life in ruins after the end of a prosperous civilization. It will still be lonely in the vast world, with small refuges.
I'm thinking of stuff like Nausicaa in how there are vast open fields and tiny villages and deserted areas are sparsely sewn around the kingdom.

Yup, that's the game I'm most hyped for. Can't remember the last time I've been so hyped for something.
But you people need to temper your expectations. If it comes out and there are no gender options it's just going to make you all madder.

They said they will not have Zelda playable. AFAIK, nothing else was said. Emilys rumor only said female playable but the Aonuma rebuttal never denied the possibility of another character. It was most likely the art of misdirection mixed with being asked too specific a question.

Yeah after all the debate in FFXV, for example, its quite exhausting tbh.

Probably just a small number of villages or settlements. This game is clearly focused on nature and the wild. I don't think towns are going to be a major factor in this game at all.
I still think the original SS plan was to play partly as Zelda - there are big gaps missing in the early game that I feel fitted that but they either ran out of time or could not make it work.
I think we will not have a male/female link but a gameplay mechanics that has both playable. Likely similar to how Windwaker managed different characters.

Mother 3 will be announced at the Switch event in January
I don't think so either.
More evolved loftwings or just differently designed Rito?
So kind of like a Rito but not exactly. Far more bird like.
Zelda doesn't need a sword, she is a Magic user.
Also she could just pick up the weapons.

That looked fantastic. The score is freaking awesome, too. Please don't make me wait until Summer to play this, Nintendo.
He said Zelda wouldn't be playable either because Link wouldn't have anything to do.
The Zelda scenes are most likely cutscenes. I would be ecstatic if she was playable though.

This or you don't unlock Zelda until later in the game.
Maybe Rito are evolved Loftwings and not Zora. Woah.
Really though I'm like 90% sure it's just a redesign of the Rito.

I think the focus on piano is by far one of the best things about this game's soundtrack.
