Ah, finally found what ボツ means: scrapped. So... confirmed she's NOT in the game. Sorry.
That's too bad. Maybe someday female Link will actually make it into a game. Regardless, the concept art is nice.

Really though, you should look for a translation before assuming something like this...
I hope that this is indeed just concept art. I've already stated that I am opposed to the idea of a female Link due to the further confusion among the general populace as to who Link is [I'd much rather Link be a solidly identifiable character that people can resonate with, and him always being male plays a large part in that]. Even if this is just a spinoff game and I don't usually care what they do with characters and whatnot, I still do not like this idea because it tampers with Link's identity.
Those other images are a white fairy and black fairy which eventually became Lana and Cia. The girl in green is directly stated to be a female Link.Maybe this isn't concept art for a female link but for a female kokiri because if this was for a female link why would the beginning concept arts in the bottom right not look like link at first? you could say this can't be a kokiri because kokiri's stay as a child but to me this looks like it may be a child we have no other charecters in this image to compare her to.
Personally, I would have added her by changing her attire from green to blue, give her a somewhat lighter hair color and call her "Aryll".
No offense, but I'm glad it was scrapped. I don't think Link needs a female incarnation or multiple versions.
