Ceres is the largest object in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, and it's the only dwarf planet located in the inner solar system. Ceres was the first asteroid discovered, on 1 January 1801 by Giuseppe Piazzi at Palermo Astronomical Observatory in Sicily. Originally considered a planet, it was reclassified as an asteroid in the 1850s after the discovery of dozens of other objects in similar orbits.
In 2006, it was reclassified again as a dwarf planet – the only one always inside Neptune's orbit – because, at 940 km (580 mi) in diameter, it is the only asteroid large enough for its gravity to make it plastic and to maintain it as a spheroid. Even though Ceres comprises 25% of the asteroid belt's total mass, Pluto is still 14 times more massive. And when NASA's Dawn arrived in 2015, Ceres became the first dwarf planet to receive a visit from a spacecraft.Dawn found Ceres's surface to be a mixture of water ice and hydrated minerals such as carbonates and clay. Gravity data suggest Ceres to be partially differentiated into a muddy (ice-rock) mantle/core and a less-dense but stronger crust that is at most 30% ice by volume.
Ceres's small size means that any internal ocean of liquid water it may once have possessed has likely frozen by now. It is not completely frozen, however: brines still flow through the outer mantle and reach the surface, allowing cryovolcanoes such as Ahuna Mons to form at the rate of about one every 50 million years. This makes Ceres the closest known cryovolcanic body to the Sun, and the brines provide a potential habitat for microbial life. In January 2014, emissions of water vapor were detected around Ceres, creating a tenuous, transient atmosphere known as an exosphere. This was unexpected because asteroids typically do not emit vapor, a hallmark of comets.

After Breath of the wild 2 Nintendo needs to make Link a girl or will kill Miyamoto with a bazooka. There is no reason not to and several good reasons to.
Androgynous anyway
So much of a player avatar they can only say yes or no and are called Link
Zelda has a majority female fanbase so number wise it makes more sense for the player avatar to be a woman
4)It would make gamers mad
this isn't a reason, but don't make it so you can pick your gender either. Women have had to crossplsy as Link forever and dudes have to deal with a female playable character that doesn't need to be female for the plot because only doing that reinforces that male is default
gamers would literally riot
I've wanted it ever since Pokemon Crystal let you play as a girl cause it just seems fair. Not like you could reasonal swap Mario
I posted about this on Zelda Reddit to see reactions and I believe in it harder. Asking why Link should be female like there's a reason he should be male.
Honestly I'd like if link was non binary for all the reasons you mentioned, plus there are literally no non binary characters in mainstream media
I don't even play Zelda games but you've presented your case so convincingly that now I care about this
