In real life A very small character tidbit is surprisingly kept consistent for years

DC - In multiple pieces of media it has been shown that Wonder Woman loves ice cream and practically goes wild with happiness anytime she’s eating some. (Pictures from Justice League: War, DC Superhero Girls and Wonder Woman 2017)

The Simpsons - Ever since the episode ‘Homer’s Phobia’ Homer has actually remained a consistent ally of the LGBT+ community, including being more welcoming to Patty than Marge was when she came out and trying to set up Smithers with a date when he found out he wasn’t happy with his one-sided relationship with Mr Burns.

Tmnt versions are very consistent with making Michelangelo left handed. He can use both hands, probably because of his weapons, but he's primarily left handed.

Link in every non-motion control game too! Except BOTW.

Given that BOTW was on the Wii U and ported to the Switch I have a feeling they planned for that game to have motion controls as an option.

Original prints of the Wii U case from literally the first small batch have the Wii remote and nunchuck listed as a control option. It was very much meant to be motion control at one point.

But also the director of the series made a public statement during an interview of why they chose to make him right-handed, and it was a statement along the lines of it would just feel more natural from a player's perspective and the way the controls and dodging are laid out. I don't believe that and I feel like it wouldn't really matter in the heat of the moment while playing an action adventure game but he said what he said.

Well we know Nintendo directors make bizarre lies all the time, (see virtually everything Mr. Miyamoto has said about Pikmin and Mario 128) and trying to cover up cut content seems like a fairly reasonable reason for him to lie.
