Not long ago, Nintendo confirmed that the Zelda series' most mysterious character, Sheik, is a woman. Now we know that the company has toyed with the notion of making series hero Link a woman.

Nintendolife published photos from the Japanese Hyrule Warriors art book yesterday, showing off a page of warriors dressed very much like Link — in green garb, long brown boots, and a green cap, but with a more feminine look. The screens are a bit blurry, but it's not hard to see how the character art looks like a lady Link.

A Japanese-speaking fan in the comments claimed that the caption next to the character art reads "This is Link, if we imagined him as a female."

The newly-released concepts are sure to reignite fan fervor over the possibility of a woman Link in the next Legend of Zelda game. Nintendo's E3 teaser for the new (and as-yet unnamed) game featured a more androgynous looking hero riding a horse, sparking some fans to wonder whether this time around, Link would be a woman. Or, that there would be gender options for players.

What are your opinions on this? Would you like the option to play as a Female Link? Do you think that Female Link would have some different abilities? Let me know in the replies below.

Wow, I actually think that is a good idea! It would attract more women players to the series and I think it would be super fun to kick butt as a girl ;P I would lobe to see this happen! Nintendo obviously considered it, with the evidence of concept art
 
Wouldn't this totally mess with the Legend of Zelda timeline, though? Other than that, It a good concept and a good prediction as well. A girl link would be so OP to use in the game too!
 
Although I was really hoping that the character in the Zelda Wii U trailer from E3 would be a girl, but this just makes it seem like a one in a million chance.

I doubt Nintendo would show this if it were actually a girl. Or maybe they're just trolling.

How would it mess with the timeline? The gender of a character wouldn't change the flow of events. Infact SS Link's whole family line is cursed so it could affect a male or female child.

Lmao yes. It would be awesome, but what about the hardcore fans? i'm sure they would still stick with regular Link.

It's just a concept art. They might be considering this as DLC for Hyrule Warriors.
