Twilight Princess Mirrored on Wii

conigs writes "As some of you may or may not know, Link will appear right-handed in the Wii version of Twilight Princess (as opposed to the left-handed Link seen since Ocarina of Time). In order to accomplish this, Nintendo has mirrored the entire game. This includes maps, since they were apparently designed with a left-handed Link in mind." Kotaku says that this will even be true in the GameCube version of Princess, to avoid confusion.

    apparently they mirrored the film titanic. most* of the budget was spent CGIing the signs to look right.

    hopefully this ends the comparison of twilight princess and titanic.

    *dramatisation. may not be true.

    Since some people really will want to play left-handed (I'm a lefty only when writing and eating, so not me), why not just make it a configurable option?

    Indeed, or even automatically switchable during game play when it detects you moving your Wiimote from one hand to another for your own little "The Princess Bride" moment.
