In some cases it would be weird, but yeah, so long as there is no love plot or sub-plot (which Ironically Zelda usually isn't too big with outside of Wind Waker, the only Zelda I encountered where it's rather explicit that Link and Zelda got together in the end), or their gender roles aren't important to the plot, you could replace the characters' genders and it wouldn't be a problem story-wise. Would people complain? Yes, but only because they don't like change.
It was clear in Skyward Sword too. Anyway, you want it to be changed just because it can? I'm fine with change, if it's for the better. This I would argue could even be for worse. Really, you think people would complain just because they don't like change? No, it's because it would be a bad change.
It's a bad change because....why? I don't get it. What would you lose? Having a penis doesn't make you a better character, especially when your character has no damn character!
A year ago, the sequel to Professor Layton, Layton 7 was announced. And no one liked it because.
1. IOS
2. There was no Layton or Luke involved in the preview
3. It looked nothing like the average Professor Layton game
Despite all that, I really want to see more of this game. From what I saw in the gameplay, it had a similar ideas to both Maniac Mansion/The Cave and Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective. Plus, it looked pretty good for an iOS title at the time.
Many people are saying Marth will be one of the lesser popular Amiibo, but truthfully, I think he might be among the most popular. Especially at launch, when the Smash players will outsell more copies than the children's parents who go Christmas shopping later.
We saw that Fire Emblem is now a big franchise, reaching over 1 million copies with Awakening. Plus Marth has always been a popular Smash Bros. fighter. Combine all that and I think he will be one of the most bought Amiibo figures.
Game Grumps aren't that good anymore. Egoraptor is running out of things to say, plus I hate how they are more doing walkthroughs than Let's plays where instead of 1 series consisting of 4 - 8 episodes. We see alot more 30 - 70 episode series. Not to mention, they're mostly of bpring Mario games. Sure, they're fun to play, but they don't make for alot of rememberable episodes. I'm sure their fans give plenty of abnormal games to them, daily. However, they don't play alot of them.
Your analogy with Luke makes no sense, because Link is not just one person. He is not one person. Let me repeat: not one person. The argument isn't whether we should change him in past games, but change him in future games.

When I said that, I was replying to something CanisWolfred said. I made a whole paragraph for you.
As far as I know, the lore does specifically mention that the Hero of Time is a boy, but that could easily be retconned into being that he's always been a boy so far.
I guess I don't care either way.
I don't have a problem with there being a female main character, but that should be the only main character.
Link isn't you in a Zelda game. You are Link, projecting yourself onto a character who is easy to project onto. Offering customization options rejects that principle.
These are three different people born thousands of years apart.
By main character I mean of a particular game. As in you shouldn't be able to choose "male or female" at the beginning of the game. The protagonist of a Zelda game should be either/or.

I'm not necessarily against the idea of having the option of being able to choose your gender in the Zelda games, but I think it would probably be a better idea to make Zelda a playable character instead. If you can already play as her in Hyrule Warriors, it could possibly be a matter of time. But that's just what I think.
For those of you who don't know who I am, I'm Kirby95, I just changed my username.
Their relationship in Skyward Sword was ambiguous. Yes, you could interpret it as romantic, but you could just as easily interpret it as sisterly.
I dunno... That's the way I interpreted it. I guess it could be sisterly.
It could be. I just think it could be interpreted either way and it was really up to the player.
Okay, makes sense. Now that I think about it, I guess it really wasn't any more clear that the other games. I guess I just kind of assumed based on that one scene at the beginning.
For people saying Link isn't one person, so we could make Samus a guy if it got rebooted? I mean, they're technically different people right? Might as well change it for some reason.
It would restrict what they could do to give a genre option or whatever. Everything would have to ignore gender. Skyward was a better story because of the romance. There were also smaller things that referenced gender in Skyward Sword. Small things in dialouge, and chatacter relationships that were kind of guy to guy if I remember correctly. I'd like to see them do something similar the next Zelda.
-Link's Awakening is my least favorite Zelda game. It's the only Zelda game that I feel is completely eclipsed by it's successors (being the Oracles), and I'm sorry, but the story wasn't impressive.
-Ballad of the Windfish is one of the worst pieces to ever appear in a video game
-Pokemon Black and White are by far the worst games in the series. The game is ridiculously linear, there is absolutely no challenge in gym puzzles or cave mazes, and, for the first few hours, the music actually hurt my ears. Also not a fan of unlimited TM use, as it kills the strategy in deciding who to use them for.
-Most games need a motion control option
-First-Person perspective is awful. With no peripheral vision, it falls into what is essentially the uncanny valley of visual perspectives. It should be avoided unless absolutely necessary.
-Most of the characters in Xenoblade Chronicles were boring and unimpressive. They are really just carried by the story.
-NHL Hitz Pro is one of the worst sports games ever, but the series origins in NHL Hitz 20-02 is one of the best sports games ever. The former just seems to completely forget what it is, focusing mostly on making the gameplay more realisitc. 20-02 knows EXACTLY what it is, and gives you loads of freedom to just screw around. If you want to make a team full of short, fat players with rat heads and completely lopsided stats, you can do that.
