Arcanists are awesome.

Left-handed people are awesome.

So.

That annoyed me so much! And just so it didn't "break the immersion" for right-handed players.

I played Skyward Sword left-handed (probably would have anyway, but now it was a matter of principle), and the only time I even thought about the difference was in cutscenes, because Link isn't supposed to be right-handed and just looks wrong like that.

In actual gameplay, you're not looking at him, you're looking past him at the enemy trying to kill him/you.

Meanwhile, the game doesn't care one bit about breaking your immersion by bringing you to a halt so robot-girl can tell you about the 87% chance of something blatantly obvious...


On an aside, it was a surprising learning curve using my right thumb to control movement - it seems like it should be the same motion as usual, and I often steer left/right in other games by turning the camera with the right stick while moving forward with the left. But it took some practice to be able to walk straight forward and not veer off to the left the whole time. Though it was also my first Wii game using the joystick controller, so maybe it's also partly due to it being held at a different angle to a normal two-handed controller.
