I think the author has a fair point. If there was a game to include a female link, it is one with customization of avatars. In counter, maybe the creators felt that the gender of link is crucial to his identity, and as such find it odd to have a female version. Also, do the Japanese care as much about gender identity as we do? They have had cross dressing characters well before the US has; maybe they find it irritating that we care at all.
