Link Figma Awesomeness

I never really understood the rage with this. I mean... If you apply logic to the Zeldaverse, each Link is of a different family, hundreds to thousands of years apart. They're going to have different genetics. Not every one of them will be the exact same. Besides, Link has always been ambidextrous.

Oh, yes. I understand that sentiment.

Though most titles in the series have depicted Link as left-handed, this is not a hard, set rule and is subject to change between games. The Adventure of Link's instruction booklet describes Link setting off "with a magical sword in his left hand and a magical shield in his right".[20] In A Link to the Past, he alternates hands, but this is due to sprite mirroring. The reason for this is explained in the official Nintendo Player's guide as a Hylian superstition that requires the shield to always face Death Mountain (located to the North) to protect oneself from the evil powers originating within the mountain.[21] Starting with Link's Awakening, Link holds his sword in his left hand and his shield in his right, no matter what direction he is facing. In The Minish Cap, however, Link returns to alternately holding his weapon in the right or the left hand, depending on his orientation. At the beginning of the Four Swords Plus (Four Swords Adventures) manga, Link is referred to as the "left-handed hero" after defeating pirates that were raiding a Hylian town. In addition, Link's figurine description in The Wind Waker lists his "manual preference" as left. However, in the animated TV series and the Wii version of Twilight Princess, Link is right-handed, but the latter was done to better mirror the game's control scheme. In the game's official artwork he is shown holding his sword in his left hand. In the GameCube version, Link remains left-handed, as the game uses a traditional control scheme.[22] Thus, Skyward Sword is the first game in the series to feature a definite right-handed Link, with even the concept art reflecting the fact.

because artwork-wise, every link since ever has been left-handed, only ambidextrous in games that had mirrored sprites.

and i'd say my rage comes from the fact that they went through the trouble of mirroring the WHOLE DARN GAME just to "appeal to the larger demographic of right handed people" that and that i'm left handed myself. so i found the above all-the-more rageworthy.

those pictures tho, that's exactly what i love seeing!.
