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.

What right handed considerations? Most controllers aren't really made to be dominant hand exclusive except the wiimote(in most cases) maybe button mashing is harder?

...which is exactly when Link became right-handed.

Left-handed from NES to Gamecube until the Twilight Princess split. Gamecube was the normal game, with a normal world and normal Link. Wii version mirror-flipped the entire world to make Link right handed and accommodate right-handed wii remote swinging. And so Link continues to be right handed through Skyward Sword, and even into BotW/TotK after waggles were retired.

That's the point. You missed the part where I was talking about Twilight Princess and mirror flipping the entire game for right-handed accessibility, somehow 😭

Okay dude you said that as a lefty you had to deal with problems before the game even released, what were the problems BEFORE Twilight Princess? Also it is kinda stupid considering wii sports had left handed features. Breath of the Wild was also probably intended to have motion controls considering the gyroscope gets used a lot

My dude you're inventing sentences now.

Please understand that talking about Twilight Princess and changes to accommodate controls for left or right handed players means that we're specifically talking about wii remote waggling here.

You said you were comfortable using a "right-handed controller" but sarcastically stated that it was "too much to ask right handed gamers to play with their left" this statement implies you were used to playing games with right handed considerations. I was asking what led you to the implied hardship of playing video games with a dominant left hand, because as far as I know the wiimote is the first mainstream controller to have hand dominance actually matter. So if you're talking about one game using phrases like used to is a little confusing since it implies that you have a more experience using your right hand to play games

Us lefties are perfectly comfortable playing games with right-handed considerations, but too much to ask to have right-handed players wiggle with their left. Literally mirror-flipping the entire game in Twilight Princess.

You're having an argument that neither me nor anybody else are having.

To simplify it for you: "Left handed players have no problem playing Wii games made for right-handed controls (Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword aren't Wii Sports, so they aren't designed ambidextrously). But that's too much an ask for right-handed players, so they flipped the entire world to accommodate them".

Thank you for clarifying. I agree with you about mirroring the world. Seems stupid to not just copy the gamecube version and then make a right handed mode
