    Hey lefties, how do you feel about the right-hand-ification of Link from The Legend of Zelda?

      don’t care in the slightest. Why would I? I write with a different hand than most people, I’m not some kind of suppressed minority in need of media-representation.

      I don’t care much, but it is too bad that they’ve made him a bit more of a blank slate. Makes him a little blander.

      It was a bummer, it was really nice when I was young to see someone like myself in a game, especially with the rise of shooting games, but I mean, it’s not the end of the world. The L for block dynamic is so well built-in now that going back to OoT R for block would throw off my muscle memory.

      I do hope there are still lefties in gaming being represented for little lefties though, it’s always nice to see traits of yourself reflected in the media you consume, especially when you’re young and looking to find yourself.
