    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.
    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:
    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.
    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."
    It's nothing against Left handedness, it's just that it's something you need to keep in mind at the beginning.
