Nah, it'd be easier to mirror the entire world.
#NintendoLogic
All new Links are now right handed. Even OoT Link in 3DS (Master Quest).
Actually it was. It's easy to think that simply mirroring the character would be a simple option, but when you start to interact with the world and other characters, you run into tons of distracting issues.
Then again, TP didn't even need to be mirrored in the first place. The hand in which you used the Wii remote made no difference. But whatever~

It does, for the bow it does.
Try firing that damn bow using your offhand, only thing worse is firing an actual bow with your offhand, such awful controls.
...I mean, there was no point in changing links hand in Twilight Princess. In either case, the interaction with the bow only amounts to a crosshair. Even if Link was Left handed in the Wii version, using my right hand would make no difference. Just use your dominant hand.
On the topic of the thread, like I said much earlier:
About 10 percent of the earths population is expected to be Left handed. It is simply not worth the effort for something very few people would care enough beyond a "Thanks, that was really thoughtful."Depending on how they set up the FK/IK structure, that may mean they would have to mirror the entire character, possibly including all of the equipment, mounts, crafting tables, and the effects for spells and moves, basically doubling all the assets for characters.
It might just be better to make whole new animations for left handed characters if it where to be implemented.
It's nothing against Left handedness, it's just that it's something you need to keep in mind at the beginning.
AdventZero, I'd like you to meet my friend, Slippery Slope Fallacy. Slippery slope, meet AdventZero! you two will be best of friends, I can see it now!Ok so people want to start the 'waste of resourses' BS again.
[Sarcasm]
Creating more than one race and more than one gender was a waste of resoures. We could have had ARR right now if they had just focused on one race and gender.
Look, the dev team has a priority list. Certain things are more important than others. Handiness, a very small cosmetic embellishment that a small number of people even care about, is not likely to be high on that priority list. The truth hurts, but that's all there is to it. There are a LOT of things that are more important than this right now.
Like that mark on meteor survivor characters? I don't think i'll be able to play the game if I didn't have that mark! right? Can say the same thing about them adding in Male Mithra, Female Roegadyn, and Female Highlanders. They didn't need to do any of that, but they did. If they didn't add Male Miqo'te, i would just continue playing female miqo'te /shrug must not be all that important to me.... therefore it must have been a waste of their and our time, in my perspective. However, it was important to many many others that they be added.AdventZero, I'd like you to meet my friend, Slippery Slope Fallacy.

The 'importance' of having that mark, extra genders, chocobo raising, insert something else here, is pretty much equal to the 'importance' of having the ability to equip a weapon in the left hand and a shield in the right. Same with a lot of things their adding that will have no impact on the games playability.
And once again, not one of us can tell anyone else what SE says is or is not something that can be on the 'list of priorities'. Not one of them has their priority list, nor can we alter their priority list.
IMO saying it is a waste or resorces or there are more important things is an invalid reason to try to be against something.
And for the record, I am right handed, so this is not a left handed vs right handed kind of thing. I'm for the impimentation of reasonable options for players, and this is a very reasonable option for players.

To tell you the truth, as long as the launch date is not pushed back to put it into the game, I really don't give a crap if it does exist. But if they would have to delay the launch to put it in, I say NO. Wait for an update. Or expansion. Or whatever.Like that mark on meteor survivor characters?
