then he'd be left-handed

Actually Link IS left-handed. He was only Right-handed in Twilight Princess Wii.

Yeah, he has always been a lefty, unlit TP: Wii Version, because all Nintendo Do is flip the whole world. You See TP isn't a Wii game (itself) it is a port from GameCube's Version, like how they made Mario Power Tennis, and Pikmen. So TP isn't really a Wii game, Its a port, they just needed to have more of a selection for the Wii probably, so yeah...

You'd have to make both sides, see, left and right-facing
so one should show his back
the other his front

Why not just switch the shield and the sword?

With the 3/4 thing, if we have Link switching sides where his back faces us, we'd have to do that for all characters :/
Can't we just have one direction and say screw it to spriting him the other way?

I am not saying we should flip anything, just switch where the shield and the sword are now and rotate him when facing the other direction. That way the shield is always in front.

I thought we were going to do this in the first place

What we were going to do is flip the sprite, then edit just the arms/legs to fit the new position.

which is dumb and doesn't make sense. i dont see the problem with back facing poses, its not like they look bad at all and they're easy as hell to edit, even if we only do it for the links and a few others

I agree that for some characters we need to have different sprites for their facings.

The likes of Mario and Sonic are clearly fine with having(for the most part) flipped sprites, but for those like Link or Samas we really should give them their different facings.

That's what they did in the game duh!

You know they did this for every character in the game

Why would Link (or Links w/e) be the only one to get this treatment?

Why not just use the post someone did for Link in the old project It was fine and usable.

Everyone wins.

because link and samus canonically use specific hands. its part of their character. nobody gives a shit what hand mario uses

Okay then

Use the old project's stance, and edit the arms.

Everyone wins.
