"Yeah, that ain't Link. At first I thought I was crazy, then you all brought it up. Plus, Link is left handed. Why is he shooting this bow right handed?"
Link is right handed since the Wiimote came into play (Twilight princess Wii version).
As for the guy that said this may be Princess Zelda: Totally princess Mononoke style. But a robot squid battle instead of a boar battle.
And yeah, Link (or whoever he/she is) looks like a girl. But don't forget this is Japan! The more female, the more male it looks in the Japanese eyes!
And if he may be Ganondorf that may also be not Epona, hence she not having white manes.
The theme could be humans versus machines, a bit like the theme from Xenoblade chronicles. If the world is really as open as promised, then that's also Xenoblade. And when the bow transforms it looks a bit like Monado, the Xenoblade sword! Maybe its a bow and sword in one. Or maybe there won't be a sword at all (hmm, that may be to radical).
So far it looks like Zelda meets Princess Mononoke meets Xenoblade chronicles meets Fable?
Also, is it just me or is this the best art style Zelda has ever had? I wouldn't mind if they stuck to this forever. And I really like every other Zelda art style too!

Was anyone else terrified that Aonuma would reveal Zelda Wii U was a Top-Down Zelda when he started talking about how the transition to 3D made it difficult to replicate the original LoZ?

"If they're really trying to change up the formula, then I hope they're not doing a mirror world mechanic. Again. It's been done to death.
That, and please don't have any type of helper character whatsoever. Let me figure it out on my own"
I agree on both points. However, Nintendo loves the dual world concept. Well, if they do it right it might still be fun.

Would not have surprised me, since Nintendo has drifted more and more away from free-roaming 3d titles. I even am surprised that we get a proper overworld again, and not a small hubworld with a few levels (like Skyward sword)!
While I'm pretty positive the trailer Link was male, playing a female Link would be awesome.
Honestly, he's such a sexless character that it would make zero difference. Maybe that's Nintendo's way of answering those idiots who accused them of homophobia with Tomodatchi Life. Zelda U is a lesbo quest.

While not gender specific, Link has at least one, and usually multiple girls fawning over him in every single Zelda game, so I'm not sure I agree.
Even as we speak, my Skyward Sword Link is having an illicit affair with Peatrice, against her father's wishes. Naughty boy!
Oh yeah, I do remember that in Skyward Sword. Don't really remember it in any other Zeldas though.
But even then, it's done a very sexless and childish kind of way. Their representation of the 2 sexes is very simplified and kind of symmetric. So that you could just swap them around in most situations and it wouldn't work any better or worse.
You could even have it so that a female link was trying to rescue a helpless male prince. It would work just fine if it wasn't for the fact that it's such an obvious reversal of the old cliche.
It's mainly the way the hair gives that impression. The jawline and fingers are pretty strong giveaway.
Plus, in the rest of the video you can see that he has no hips at all and no other markers that would say, "hey, this is a girl!" So no, just a teenage boy, not a man, and definitely not a girl.
