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.

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.

chanmasta4737d ago

So is YOUR spelling, Sidar.

ChickeyCantor4737d ago

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

F'off =)

jacksonmichael4737d ago

Chanmasta was right. Knowledge is half the battle!

Optical_Matrix4737d 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.

jacksonmichael4737d 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.

That'll be interesting because titular character for the game

The 'Legend of Link: Zelda's Awakening' has a nice ring to it.

Legit since they made Princess Peach showtime

It works

The cycle of hatred can't always be exactly the same

Maybe in one reincarnation the Hyrule family name their son Link in honour of Hylia's chosen hero and some village woman name their daughter Zelda in honour of Princess Zelda from the old tales of the lands past.

This rumor, or variants of it, appears pretty much every time there is a gap with a non-announced Zelda game in the works. So I would take it with a grain of salt."

That said, I have always wanted a game where you play as her. Not exactly a "Zelda game", mind you, I always see her making more sense in something like a city builder/management or strategy game.

ZeekQuattro3h ago

There's a rumor that another Zelda Musou game in the works. I'd sooner believe that one over this.

SimpleSlave3h ago

A character select screen would work just fine. If RPG developers, with far more complex gameplay everything, have been able to do this, why is Nintendo still dragging their feet?

This ain't Baldur's Gate nor Morrowind, so lets get to it already.

Honestly I really changed my mind on Fi with the remaster because they didn't make her interrupt your gameplay every 5 seconds, that drastically changed my views on her

Inverno95d ago

Technically she's in ToTK but obviously can't take any other form than the sword she was made into. Also the companion feature has been done plenty of times in Zelda, I don't think it'll add anything new. If anything should be brought back it should be the Minish.
