Ooooh, okay, I see what you mean for that. Good point, then.
Maybe the different fighting styles were for variety, then? I suppose it doesn't matter much, though, since Brawl isn't exactly 100% canon. XD
Also, what I find funny is the "OoT is an E-rated game so it wouldn't have genderswap stuff in it!!" argument. There's the stuff you covered, but there's also this--the Wizard of Oz books. They're obviously for kids, but in The Land of Oz, there's a major plot point in which one of the main characters finds out that he's actually a girl, and that he was changed into a boy when he was very young in order to protect him. Then, later on, he gets turned back into a girl. If the Oz books, which are definitely for kids, can have a gender-swapped character, I don't see why OoT, which has some VERY not-for-kids elements, can't.
