Let's just say that Link is ambidextrous (Bitmob)

Bitmob Staff Writer Alejandro Quan-Madrid writes: The Legend of Zelda's Link often appears right handed these days, but I refuse to believe that he's no longer a southpaw.

CNXN5480d ago

Link is always a different link in every game.

OoT > MM
WW > PH
LoZ > LoZ II
LTTP > LA ( not sure about this one though)

So you're statement is wrong.

chanmasta5480d ago

So is YOUR spelling, Sidar.

ChickeyCantor5480d ago

Sure, I make the mistake now and then.
How is that even relevant to anything above?

F'off =)

jacksonmichael5480d ago

Chanmasta was right. Knowledge is half the battle!

Optical_Matrix5480d ago

He's ambidextrous. Why? Because Miyamoto is also ambidextrous. The only reason he's right handed in Twilight Princess for Wii and Skyward Sword is because majority of people are right handed and it would make more sense for them when doing sword play, if the remote was held in their right hand. Imagine trying to swing around a sword using your right hand when the sword is actually in the characters left hand.

jacksonmichael5480d ago

Correct. Only 11 percent of the population is left handed. The reason you aren't given the option to play left handed though, (and here is where I get a little lost) is that, since Link would be inverted across the Y axis, his world would need to be as well, and there isn't enough space on a disc to put the world on the disc twice, once for each hand. This explanation makes sense for Skyward Sword, but I can't see why Twilight Princess needed to be flipped.

Why the Wii is Such a Nostalgic System in 2026

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Smellsforfree32d ago

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Loktai32d ago

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.

How about the original Legend of Zelda remade with the Echoes of Wisdom engine. Maybe throw in added dungeons, or expand the map to make the game longer than the original.

meganick62d ago

A Zelda 1 remake would be great, but not with the Echoes of Wisdom art style. I find it unappealing.

Neonridr62d ago

I'd even suggest a Link to the Past as well. Would love a more modern HD look using the Links Awakening / Echoes engine.

jreeves8262d ago

I would like Twilight Princess HD for Switch or Switch 2.

Redgrave62d ago

A movie trailer, or nothing if Mario's was anything to go by
