I think that's pretty unlikely, Link is the iconic Zelda character. It's more likely they will go down the direction of making the two co-leads who meet early in the film and go on an adventure together to save Hyrule. I don't think the old trope of "hero saves the princess", or the modern reverse of that, will be a central part of the plot.
Why the photo of Zelda with a quiver then?
How does that contradict anything I said?
You said it's unlikely but the article has Zelda as a protagonist, suggesting it's quite likely.
A film can have more than one protagonist. It's actually very common to have co-leads.
EDIT: Maybe you haven't been following this film at all, but the singular photo in this article was from a much earlier photo shoot that had the two leads standing side-by-side. It's not an indication that Zelda is the sole main character of the film.
The franchise is literally named after Zelda...
