Alright, but I have yet to see a game character that’s left handed though
Just checked in game and he actually does swing with his left. Never noticed until now. Apparently newer games retconned him to be right handed
They changed it because of the Wii controls.
Swinging with your left doesn't necessarily mean you're left handed.
I'm right handed, but I play sports like baseball and golf left handed.
That's called cross dominate.

I think mine is partially because the vision in my right eye is worse than my left, because I shoot left handed too (clay pigeons)
I'm the opposite but I think it's mostly because much of the tools being mass produced are mostly made for right handed people. Computer mice, golf clubs, guitars, catcher mitts, etc. It's not impossible to find left handed versions of these things, but you usually have to go out of your way to get them and most people don't teach these skills in a left handed mindset.
It's not a retcon if it's a different person. Most games introduce a new Link. We're currently at twelve unique Links.
