Yeah the triforce doesn't need genders to "balance" itself. Heck, Ganondorf's a male, so it's already out of balance.
Now, designing an entire campaign for Zelda would be a lot of work, so THAT sort of reasoning I could accept. This though? Yeah, it's pretty shoddy reasoning. Nothing will really come of it though, because Japan is just too far removed from the US for them to care about what english Twitter is saying.
Zelda has had some pretty cool roles anyway. There's no reason both Link and Zelda couldn't be doing stuff. I dunno, they're just too attached to the idea that Link, Zelda and Ganon are symbolically tied to the triforce. Here I was hoping the Hyrule Warriors spinoff would be a great start down the road to allowing characters other than Link to have a leading role now and again. I really don't need Link to ALWAYS be the star, and as I've said time and time again, the only way we're ever going to see a female lead is if Nintendo is willing to let go of the need to ALWAYS star Link in every single Zelda game.
So, all that said, I'm more excited for this upcoming Zelda game than I have been in a good long while. It's a great return to form, with everything having a very strong Zelda 1 inspired design.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
