That's right, in the Wii version of the Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess, the main character, Link, is not left handed anymore. It might not seem like a big deal, but if you think about it.. how many other video game characters ARE lefties? We got Link to represent the awesomeness of being left handed, but now the Wii people decided that... ah..... just read the article.

This is the article that made me look for a lefties guild so I can show my frustration. I'm sorry If you guys don't like that, but the article says the truth. And It should be heard. xD

To quote the last two paragraphs:
"So it seems that in the upcoming Twilight Princess for the Wii, Link will be right-handed. Players will be able to wave the Wii controller around and have Link mirror their movements. Apparently so that all you weak righties don't have to hold the controller in your off-hands, Nintendo has decided to change this important aspect of Link's character, and destroy one of the few great icons in the left-handed world.

Lefties have to live every single day dealing with things that are designed for right hands, and now we're losing Link. I am outraged."


I couldn't agree more. > _ <;

And oh btw, I still haven't been accepted into the guild. I just couldn't wait D:

Thank god Smash Bros stayed true to the character.

Now that sucks because my right hand is really weak and I cant do anything with it crying even on the wii I change my setting for left handedness.

But come on changing link!! That's not fair!! He was like one of the only lefty characters that I played and now they have to change it >.<

I hate change...

Well, also keep in mind that most people are right-handed. They have to cater to the majority in order to sell the game and make it playable for the most part. But I also agree with Kagome that they should stay true to the actual details of characters. What Nintendo should have done was CREATE the left-/right-handed play.

Funny enough, I noticed that too.

Yeah, oddly enough, the head honcho of Nintendo is a leftie. And the game cube version link is still left-handed ^^

Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars...
^Nice fun-fact. And I got rid of my Game Cube... :sniff:

My GBA's still around, however!

...I can really use a wish right now.
