The VG Resource

A real swordsman would go for functionality, not looking cool. And besides, it's more ominous, like when Link jumps down to a lower level, faces the camera, and pulls it from his right side. Ominous, in my opinion, is good.

...Drawing from the shoulder is illogical and to be honest, quite awkward.

Have you ever imagined yourself trying to draw a sword like that? I have, and I for one know it's a; fucking uncomfortable and b; quite stupid, because you have to pull it so far up to get it out of the sheath, which is just impractical. Also, awkward if you have average-length arms.

Basically; Stop defending it with shitty reasoning. "It looks cool" is not a good reason. I happen to think a hip-sheath looks much better. Only ninja wear their swords on their backs.
