People who comment on "why it's important that Link is left handed?"obviously don't know their Zelda history. Link has been left handed since the very first game back in 1987 (how many of you were born yet, I wonder). The reasons for this is due to the fact that Shigeru Miyamoto is, in fact, left handed (for the casual gamer, Miyamoto created Zelda, Mario, Donkey Kong, etc). Had it not been for the wii remote, Link would have continued being left handed. While this might seem like a minor detail to the casual gamer, true Zelda fans will appreciate this addition.
