With Motion+ ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!

lol

[NovaQ]

Now you're playing with MotionPlus-ower.


Er, yeah.

[Stratos]

You suddenly reminded me of that old NES ad where the game playing gets so awesome that the people's house rockets off the ground and enters orbit.

The new Zelda needs to have a rap ad like the first one did.

[EasyCure]

It can be a gangsta rap cuz links so mature

No, he/she's likely the newest incarnation of the irritating Navi, and the embodiment of Miyamoto's "let the game play itself for lazy or non-gamers" system.

When it's apparent you/Link can't do anything right, she pops out of sword form and shows you what an idiot you are, completing the challenges for you.  Since Evil cannot touch himmer/shim, he/she would be invincible on all accounts.

Hay guy, you've just described Miyamoto's HERUPU SHISUTEMU!!

I hate when interviewers forget the all important question, is Link going to be left handed or what? with the motion + thing is an actually important question for the gameplay experience of left handed people, which was actually iirrelevant for the lazy and dumb mirroring of TP. Its funny Aonuma and Miyamoto thinking that was an awesome idea for a game without actual motion, only waggle.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

I'm not sure why left-handed people, like myself, would want to use the Nunchuck in their right hand after controlling analog sticks and d-pads with their left-thumb for over 20 years.

Cuz you're the only left-handed person that ISNT evil

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

I bat right, shoot right, and ninja right.

I'm right-eye-dominant, so hand bias really has little to with it

Hey! I represent that! What do you have against us south-paws?

[ShyGuy]

I'm left handed and I trained myself to Mouse right and Waggle right.

[UltimatePartyBear]

I'm less concerned with Link's handedness than all of the baddies'.  Flipping everything in TP created a highly unlikely world of lefties, and that bothered me more than anything else about it.  The good news, I suppose, is that making Link right-handed without screwing up the rest of the world might require changing the combat system every 3D Zelda has used so far.

You're all sinister.

If you look at the concept art again, you'll see that Link has the shield in his left hand, which leaves his right hand open for his girl-sword.

But like PartBear said, at least the game world won't have to be mirrored, which in TP left me with a persistent, slightly unsettled feeling about the game's presentation.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Yeah it felt like Bizarro World.

I know that quote, but I've completely forgotten where it is from. It's driving me nuts.

I'm right-handed but I've never had any problem playing with my left thumb.
I wouldn't say the same with the Nintendo DS stylus.

The DS can be worlds of difficult for lefties.
Four buttons < D-Pad for FPS games.

[BranDonk Kong]

So, who wants to wager that Retro Studios will be making this game? Just a guess...but I wouldn't be surprised.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

I thought SK was.

Right, it's like getting accustomed to being a driver on the left side of the car in Amerikaland as opposed to right-side in Euroland.  Everybody simply already learned it one way and is fine keeping it that way.

Right, it's like getting accustomed to being a driver on the left side of the car in Amerikaland as opposed to right-side in Euroland.  Everybody simply already learned it one way and is fine keeping it that way.

The UK and Ireland are the only European countries that drive on the left, the rest drive on the right (as does the majority of the world: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Countries_driving_on_the_left_or_right.svg). About 66% of the world drives on the right (vehicles are usually produced as left driving cars/driving on the right and right driving cars/driving on the left).

Anyways, I had no problem with the mirrored world of TP. Maybe it's because it's the only version I played and the fact that Nintendo clearly wanted the Wii version to be the primary version, but it felt natural and fine to me.
