The GC version was the one where Link was left-handed. Also TP was made for the Gamecube, and has GC quality graphics.

Quote:Aonuma thought it felt strange to swing the Wii Remote with the right hand to control the sword in Link's left hand,
Aonuma is right handed thats all there is to it. back to Skyward sword plz
EDIT: in the case of skyward sword they should have an option to chose what hand you use

They did flip link.
Gamecube was the mirrored version.
Hence all the bugs.
yeah, no
gc was definitely the source version and wii was flipped
You're a fucking moron. Don't act sarcastic with me.
TP was developed for the gamecube.
Then before release it was ported to Wii.
They then, flipped the GCN version before releasing it on the GCN.
They did however, flip link in the Wii version. Though that was only weeks before it went into production when they decided to add the motion controls.
Before they flipped link in the wii version though, they had already flipped him in the gamcube version to match the left handed wii version (before motion controls)
i know it's ridiculously complicated but that's what they did.

Thats sorta wrong
Quote:He began rethinking the controls with Miyamoto to focus on comfort and ease. The camera movement was reworked and item controls were changed to avoid accidental button presses. In addition, the new item system required use of the button that had previously been used for the sword. To solve this, sword controls were transferred back to gestures—something E3 attendees had commented they would like to see. This reintroduced the problem of using a right-handed swing to control a left-handed sword attack. The team did not have enough time before release to rework Link's character model, so they instead flipped the entire game everything was made a mirror image. Link was now right-handed, and references to "east" and "west" were changed. The GameCube version, however, was left with the original orientationThe original was left handed link till they flipped for the wii that then caused problems so they fliped back and made the sword go by buttons. working on items that used the same button caused problems so they fliped it back

where did you get that from?
dont make me find and scan this magazine.
it could be wrong, but the magazine definitely says that they flipped the GCN version, to give it a difference from the wii version.

im not trying to get on yours or anyones bad side im just trying to shed some light on the situation
but to be honest thats info from wikipedia which not alot of people trust
i remember articles tho about the complications of the games developement back in 05 stating similar things

oh right
its the sound of your entire argument becoming invalid
RE: The Legend Of Zelda: The Skyward Sword. - Kyleglor - 06-20-2010
That dosnt make my entire argument invalid that just means that part of the argument is not set in stone. I do have prior knowledge of the series including topic at hand such as Aonuma feeling it weird to control links left hand with your right becuase i did see a televised interview were that came up in.
RE: The Legend Of Zelda: The Skyward Sword. - Kyleglor - 06-20-2010
Oh yeah i found this
Quote:IGN: In past Zelda games, people noticed that Link was obviously left-handed. And I know that all the Zelda games are stand-alones -- but in this particular game, will there be a lefty option for left-handed people?Source http://au.wii.ign.com/articles/109/1099184p2.html
Aonuma: It's interesting because people say "all you have to do is switch it." But in reality, it's really hard. You have to change all the models -- you have to make two of everything. So really you're making two complete games, one left-handed version and one right-handed version. We just can't do that. For Twilight Princess, what we did was just create a mirror -- we flipped everything. And if that worked I guess we could do it that way, but again having to create two games is not something we want to do. We just hope that people will play it right-handed.

Are they going to fix the slingshot thing?

I dont know i guess i was the first to point it out. it may be with items you can start the action with either hand and then depending on that it changes the animation...

wait, what
no they didn't
that doesn't make sense
why would they make the game with right handed link, and flip it specifically for the gamecube version?
They didn't. There would be no reason to do so, because that would be too much work for absolutely no reason.
They mirrored the entire game. The only thing that's original to the Wii version is Link's model, which had to be specifically redone for obvious reasons.
The gc version is the original game. It was then ported to the wii, where it was then flipped because there are more right-handed people in the world than left-handed people and they wanted to cater the motion controls to their biggest audience. That's why the wii version is somewhat more polished and has the sky cannon glitch fixed in later versions, because it was in a way "version 2.0" of twilight princess.
In other words, what Kylegor just posted was correct.
Whoever it was that wrote the article in the magazine you were reading was retarded.

dear vipershark
die

RE: The Legend Of Zelda: The Skyward Sword. - Kyleglor - 06-20-2010
I agree with everything vipershark said except that last sentence

gonna copyapasta here.
Quote:Ever notice how there are different links in each game?
the only reason why he's right handed is because he's part of a different generation.
it makes some sense if you consider the fact an older link probably fucked a different woman.
Of course, this wouldn't apply to Twilight Princess nor Wind Waker, because of development reasons and a totally different hero respectively. So really Skyward sword happens to be the odd link out.
