    A silly, simple suggestion for someday.

    I know that I would be a little nit picky here, especially with you guys being very busy. That is why I am someday hoping to see the implementation of the option to be left or right handed. Being left handed, I sometimes get a little bugged about the fact there is NO one that seems to be left handed in the game. Other than that, I don't mind or care. It's, once again, a silly suggestion for the game.

    Back in sword and shield times, all people used sword in right hand and shield in left. That's why most of us are right handed.

    would take too much time for something so minimal, SE will never do it, it's a complete waste of time and money to do so.

    Hey, a girl can dream, right? I was hoping the coding would be simple enough. And yes, with the shield soldiers placed it over the heart so they wouldn't be stabbed directly through the heart. To be a lefty practically meant death, I suppose. That and were always left out of everything and were considered witches lol. I guess it just made me think of that in the game.

    I'm sad you didn't get a thumbs-up yet; I like this idea. I will give you your first thumbs-up! Link is a lefty!

    I do agree that it probably won't happen though

    It's not so much a coding thing, it's an animation thing. To redo animations would take a lot of time. It's also not as simple as mirroring it.

    I haven't dealt with animations in a while. You couldn't just invert the animation's x-coordinates?

    It would take tweaking as well and lets not forget you'd need to make a mirrored version of every animation sequence to make sure it doesn't randomly flip your character between different animations.

    It would also require them to put the same animations for every single animation sequence in the games files twice just to have lefty mode, that means taking up double the space.
