Talking Point: Is The Legend of Zelda’s Link Left- or Right-Handed? Let’s Look at the Evidence

An analysis of Zelda canon looks at whether Link is left- or right-handed.

Early games and official art often portrayed Link as left-handed, but later releases changed that.

The series has not kept Link’s handedness consistent across games, models, and platform versions.

A leaked image from the upcoming Zelda movie renewed debate by showing Link with the Master Sword in his right hand.
