>Why pink hair?
To provide the player with a strong visual anchor. There's a lot of greens and browns in the game, with brown hair as seen in the official artwork the player character would blend in too much. With pink hair it is easily trackable even with peripheral vision.

This is the best argument I've seen other than "the devs just wanted it that way"

I wish they had kept it in the official art and Link Between Worlds, I think pink hair is cool as fuck personally. I'd love to see more differences in Links throughout the generations. I love this artist's take on them:
