The difference in my opinion between Mario vs Link having gender options is that in a couple games peach was a playable character. She was also her own character though, not just a pink Mario minus a mustache.
I don't think it should be a simple "are you a boy or a girl?" For new loz games. If they use Linkle, she should be an additional character instead of a gender swap.
Not to say she couldn't be playable, they could have puzzles for the both, one or the other, or any combination to make it more complex. It'd be interesting to see some sort of a relationship or rivalry between link and linkle and just have both rename-able.
If they really wanted to use her as a gender swap out though, it'd be funny if they switched all of the character's genders. Might even work to a point.
