Eh. The game would have to be good for it to work.
I don't see this kind of thing happening any time soon. On one hand, the only other time the spirit of the hero played no part in the story was in Wind Waker and the sequels to it, where that Link had to fight for the right to be the hero. On the other, it showed that it doesn't have to be the same hero every time.
If they could find a way to make it work, sure, I'd like to play a Zelda game with Zelda as the main character. She can't get the Master Sword or anything though, as that would pretty much make her Link with a different name.
