Wow. Upon further looking at Wii.com, I completely retract my previous comment. In all previous pictures, the angle at which it was held looked like that it was definitely a left hand only device. Wii.com says that both the components are ment to be a completely ambidrextrous set. Sorry about that statement.
You are forgeting an important part of the Wii-mote: the Nunchuku attachment. Many of the games are designed with this as a necessary part to play the game, and the Nunchuck is shaped in the way that you must hold it with your left hand. Since Zelda utilizes the nunchuck, the user is forced to use the "sword" in their right hand.

Sitting Down? Everyone knows you can only be a true Guitar Hero while standing up and pulling off some ridiculous stage antics.
