However, we have included the option to make Link left-handed as well, so left-handed players should not feel left out."

Hmmm...



No source mentioned though.

Box Art'd

I like it, and I think this is the real box art because this is the same picture they showed here

I like it.

Oh my god that forum had no signature rules! Did you see that evolution of Mario Signature?

I just heard that Link was not a lefty anymore, and he's back to being what he originally was- a righty.

I just have two words for it.

OH YEAH!

I had been waiting for that for a loooooooooong time. But think about it. 90% of the world's population is right-handed. Obviously they're going to tool the Wii controls so Link has the sword on his right side.

I wonder what Link'll be in the GC version.

If he's normal, yet another reason to prefer the GC version. I'll be quietly picking that up while the Wii version is sold out. ;D

Since when Is Link Right-Handed? I can't really recall a game where he was... (except in Lttp, where they mirrored his swinging animation to save cart space, and he swings with right when faceing east)

Link was right-handed in every game before Link to the Past.

And what do you have against left-handed Link, anyway?

Absolutely nothing. In fact, I always thought it was cool that there was a left-handed hero in video games.

I just always wanted him to be like me, since I love The Legend of Zelda so much.

You righties don't have enough heroes already? Leave Link for us Lefties!

I wonder what's up with Midna... I have seen a lot of stupid theories about her. I just know she's going to be an important character, having her helmet (and some kinda armor) behind the logo and all... Hm...

Midna, a new character, is a resident of the Twilight Realm. At a certain point in the game she decides to team up with Link to fight a “greater evil” that she cannot overcome alone. Midna (once teamed up with Link) breaks out of a "prison" with him. For these parts, the player controls her while she rides on Wolf Link’s back, however, during certain portions of the game Wolf Link may be controlled without Midna (as seen in the snowy landscape featuring Wolf Link without Midna). There has been much speculation regarding Midna’s identity. Official sources, however, do not suggest in any way that she is a familiar character, confirming only that she changes form in the normal world as Link does in the Twilight Realm. She disappears once Link re-enters regular Hyrule (in the demos), and has been said by Aonuma to remain with Link in another form. During the E3 2005 trailer she used her spellcasting abilities to paralyze Twilight creatures so that Wolf Link may attack them with ease. It was also stated by Aonuma that her magic will be leveled up as well as Wolf Link's abilities.

In a recently released video at IGN.com, Midna is seen appearing out of Link's shadow. Also in a recently released video, however, it shows Midna in her Twilight form with Link in his normal form when Link obtains the Master Sword. In the end of another trailer, there is a quick image of what may be Midna threatening Princess Zelda.

Later in the game, Midna will allow Link to teleport across Hyrule, quickly spanning great distances.

I'm still desperately curious... Will (the Wii-version) Link be just right-handed? All I've read about is a bunch of rumors and half-truths, nothing that would truly confirm that you can or can't changes hands. Atleast it's possible to do so in Warioware Touched and it does affect gameplay; I've tried playing both in the left-handed and the right-handed mode.

Sorry, but Link is only right-handed in the Wii version. Personally, I don't see the problem with this, because if Link were to be left-handed, I could easily swing my left hand like my right hand (and no, I'm not ambidextrous).
