@socketwench - I always joke that Link is a trans girl, but not jokingly, I think he's a guy.

But I love the theory that gender in the Hyrulean world, men and women look so much the same that gender expression is done by clothing. This explains why the Gerudo kick Link out of town if he's dressed as a man, but dressed as a woman, they just let him in, even if he dresses right in front of him.
