What's a game with a male main character where you wish you had a gender option? (self.GirlGamer)

Like, Witcher 3 is great, but I have a hard time getting into it because I can't relate to Geralt at all, and find myself wishing I could make my own witcher or sorceress to play as.

Does anyone else have gaming experiences like that they'd like to share?

Especially when the only established female protagonist in first-party Nintendo games is Samus. I feel like Zelda has gone far enough into the open-world RPG format that it's time to retire Link and let people make their own characters. (Maybe with options to easily recreate Link in the character creator if they so choose.)

Apparently Nintendo considered having Zelda be the protagonist in Breath of the Wild, but quickly realized it didn’t make any sense because of their rigid lore surrounding the Triforce and who has what abilities and their unwillingness to break those traditions
