left handed link

Does anyone realize that link is left handed. I figured this out by which hand was holding the sword in the link to the past.

Re: left handed link

I know during medievil times left-handed swordsmen were considered more dangerous due to the construction of towers. The way they were built was so that when some one attacking was heading up the stairs they would have trouble swinging a sword. However a left-handed swordsman had no such problem as they use the opposite side. Perhaps they decided to make Link left-handed because of this olde fact.

I find that very reasonable. I go along with that theory.

Also they could be seen as great asassians. They'd only check the left side of the men, becasue you would pull it out with your right hand. They'd check, the sword would be on the opposite side, which they didn't check. Guy gets a private meeting with the king. Bye bye unarmed king.

Actually, I think Zelda and Ganondorf are right-handed. But yes, I've known for a long time that Link is left-handed.

Re: left handed link

Although Link is left-handed,I have a poster showing him as a right-handed swordsman.But he was drawn that way for the sake of the poster.

Re: left handed link

He's left handed, except when he faces to the right in a 2D game. Then he becomes right handed.

Tingle's right handed. It's one of Keaton's questions in MM.

Re: left handed link

No, he's right handed. I read in an interview on Nintendo.com that said that though he sometimes holds his sword in his left hand, he is indeed right handed. He apparently is ambidextrous.

Re: left handed link

I always switch the sword in OoA so he is right handed.
It is easy for me using the A-button for the sword.

Re: left handed link

実際に、私はゲームをすることによってこれを実現しなかった。またはむしろ、私はそれについて考えなかった 。私の友人(また大きいZelda ファン) がそれについての私に言ったまで実現しなかった。そして私はこれの楽しみを作る漫画を読んだ。しかし彼はす べてのゲームで左きき持っているずっと彼をでないか。ない古い第2 で少なくとも冒険する。As 、私は彼が"Windwaker に" あったことを考えなかった。しかしそのゲームの主要な特性、彼はリンク壮大で壮大で壮大な孫のような何かだ った... 私が間違うかもしれない。ちょうど私を無視しなさい。

Actually, I didn't realize this by playing the games. Or rather, I didn't think about it.
Didn't realize until my friend (also an big Zelda-fan) told me about it. And I've read cartoons where they make fun of this. But he hasn't been left handed in all game has he?
Not in the old 2D adventures at least.
As, I didn't think he was in "Windwaker". But the main character in that game, he was something like Links grand grand grand grandchild...I might be wrong. Just ignore me.
