IGN previously reported that The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword for Wii would feature a left-handed mode, well it turns out this information is actually incorrect and that the game doesn’t feature such a mode. Not great news for those of you who are left-handed.

inb4 “IGN sucks” comments.
Now now.
I vastly prefer the tried and true “You can’t spell Ignorant without IGN.”
LMAO!
Disappointing, to say the least.
Yep… I’m a rightie but I kinda wanted to teach myself to play in the left hand just to be more like Link. xD (Am an obsessed loser)
Why not just swap your WiiMote with your Nunchuck?
It’s ok, I’m not left handed
Oh dear, looks like IGN’s gonna get a lot of hate from this.
Can’t spell ignorant without IGN.
lol XD LMAO
I get it :D
LOL YES.
Derp lol
Awesome post right here.

OMG BAHAHAHA LOL XD XD XD SOO FRICKIN FUNNY… o wait I’ve heard it a hundred times before… o_O
lol thats the point
… Kirby Return to DreamLand just got better…for left handed people… (I’m left handed)
And IGN loses 22% of what little reliability it had left.
haha…left
XDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!! That was awesome!
i see what you did there, “left”
Did it even have any? xD
well.. thats kinda debatable
Well they did get a TON of Wii U info correct long before E3.
umm didn’t everyone tho? A screen on the controller, HD graphics, more power than a ps3, motion controls still used, a more traditional controller this time, a camera on the controller….. not tht hard to predict if you ask me. :P
Well that sucks. I wanted to turn lefthanded on for extra hard mode. >.>
well… what if you play zelda in right handed mode… with your left hand??
you can always play left-handed standing backwards, with a mirror reflecting the TV… haha idk.
:/
I was going to buy this as well…
Im right handed..but I was just wondering, was it difficult being left handed playing twilight princess?
I just played twilight princess in the wrong hands, being left handed. using the wiimote in my left
I’m left handed and didn’t have any problems playing Twilight Princess or any other Wii game with my right hand holding the wiimote and the nunchuk on my left. I really don’t see the problem other left handed people have with this, to be honest holding the wiimote with my left hand feels very uncomfortable seeing as how the joystick is usually used by your left hand and not your right.
IGN got something wrong? What a shocker :L
Man, but why?
¬¬
Question: What would happen if you tried to play the game left-handed anyway?
Not much. The game would play normally.
ohhh man! I’m left handed and the main thing is that LINK IS LEFT HANDED TOO.
lol dude, your last post you said you were right handed…
quit spamming comments
bergoo every person who doesn’t leave this site a name is called Anonymous so………..nice try.
Everyone gets a special 8bit character tho. And I’ve seen that brown and light blue many times commenting on your own posts. Bergoo got you
You are fucking retarded everyone who does not insert any e-mail adress automatically get that avatar.
Think before commenting, please.
I thought you were being sarcastic at first, but if you aren’t… [facepalm]
Pingback: IGN Reports Wrong Info on Skyward Sword : No Left Handed Mode – MyNiritori Gaming News | |
Ohhh man! I’m left handed too but the most important is that LINK IS LEFT HANDED TOO.
It is sooo ironic that Link started as a left-handed hero and still there’s no left-handed mode. Even me, as a right-handed guy, would like to give it a try. But nooooo. Thatnks Ninty.
Don’t takeme wrong, I still thinnk the game will kick ass, but that would have been a formidable extra that got missed in the development room thanks to somebody’s stubborness ¬¬
BLASPHEMOUS. Just kidding, ambidextrous BITCH
dont care i play wii right handed anyway. i dont get why someone would play with the remote in their left hand, arent like all games using the left joystick to walk around?
yep real gamers are left handed
Weaksauce. At least I’m right handed.
All that ambidexterity training….
You can’t spell “ignorant” without IGN. :P
…. you’re a little late with yur comment thar. Try scrolling up a little.
….Why IGN did you get this wrong? WHY?!?!?!?!?!?
IGNorant buffoons!!
will this joke EVER get old…? -_-
Hey sickr, can you change my name to Muzy? I’d rather not have my name be on the interwebz. Thanks!
IGN getting something wrong? The sky is blue. What else is new?
I wonder if holding a real sword with a left hand is the correct way and not right hand. I’ll buy one a try it out hehe
That’s basically what I was trying to say when the news broke. I’m left handed, but I play the Wii using my right hand. When it comes to gaming, and some other stuff, I can adapt pretty quickly. The advantage of most left-handed people is that we can use both hemispheres of the brain, which allows us to adapt to things better than other people. I can play my DS using the stylus on either hand, but I do feel more comfortable with my left hand.
No, no , no! Jale chafa!
I’m wondering what the source is for this post sickr. I dont know who Muzamil Pabani is. Why would IGN be so confident of a left handed mode…they said the game asks you to pick which hand you are. I’ll believe IGN until the source for this post is detailed.
nm found it. here’s the original source
http://kotaku.com/5850671/the-new-zelda-wont-have-a-lefty-mode-after-all
they said nintendo confirms no lefty
i know that link is supposed to be left-handed naturally and what not..but does it really matter? is it gonna take away from the whole zelda experience? not really guys..
i dont see whats the big deal about it i mean its not always the same link so one could be right handed
R.I.P. 2% of Skyward Sword sales.
I might not get skyward sword I am left handed and playing right handed might be to hard for me
Just play as you normally would. If it’s too hard, switch hands. It’s not that hard.
It should be OK. Cause they won’t set the game too concentrate on ‘must be’ using which hand. For what I remembered last time some of the left handed gamer tried right hand on Twilight Princess and they said is acceptable. I can’t say same thing about Skyward Sword cause the game not out yet. But I think you still can enjoy with it even is different hand. Maybe I will try change the way to hold the remote next time.
Thought can play second time for left-handed mode like PH. But change the way to hold remote may still consider left-handed?
What would left-handed mode be, anyway?
Flipping Link’s model would mess with cut-scenes and I don’t think it would have done anything.
Never check with the cut-scenes in Phantom Hourglass not so sure about it.
Same with Spirit Tracks, the game will ask to pick left of right hand when the game start. Also can be changed later in game option.
This apply in Kirby Mass Attack game option too.
I had tried to use left hand to play PH on second time, succeeded already but different hand play make my left hand tired fast than my right hand.
Me saw this as a fun & challenge way to play.
Mm, maybe you knew already, so no offense OK?
But those are different situations; it’s not like playing Spirit Tracks with a left or right hand is going to change which hand Link holds his sword, only how you play the game.
Yes. I don’t think it will change the cut-scenes. But if the remote can be switch to left handed maybe is better for left handed gamer. I am not sure about this cause I can’t pretend myself as a left handed the whole time.
The DS version did mentioned if different hand is choose, some area will change. But how it will change? Mirror maybe? Consider a Wii version probably is more complicated than the DS version so no left handed is may not convenient to some. I apologize if giving wrong statement.
Well, the the left-handed mode in the DS versions had to do with interface positions(like bringing up the map and items.); which would not be a problem for Skyward Sword.
A left-handed mode was only an extra thing for me and not really a necessary part of the game, so this is hardly a loss. Don’t get so dogmatic over a silly thing like which hand is canon for god’s sake. Keep in mind that Link isn’t always the same person in every Zelda game, so it is inane to think that just because one Link was left-handed, that means another Link HAS to be left-handed too.
Honestly I think there might be a difference between an actual lefty mode and just holding the remote in your left hand. Since the swings would be opposite it might be a bit difficult for some people to mirror what they see on the screen. It didn’t affect TP because you could just waggle the wiimote for a desirable effect.
Either way, I’m a little mad about this being left handed. But I’ll deal with playing right handed, no problem.
*a little mad about this not having a left handed mode
You know, after reading that IGN reported that, from this website, before, I searched all of IGN’s Skyward Sword articles to see where they’d actually made this claim, and couldn’t find it. So… link to article that makes this claim, perhaps?
Otherwise it seems as though this is just being used as a means to bash another website. Just saying.
Oh, there definitely was one there. Obviously they’d have taken it down by this point. The writer himself even acknowledged the error in a blog.
Not Surprised. You can’t spell IGNorant with out IGN
im starting to get annoyed with that joke
Thank God I play Wii with my right even though I’m a lefty :)
Since this is pertinent to the story at hand, Nintendo World Report has released an article explaining how Skyward Sword is inherently “left friendly” to the point that the inclusion or exclusion of a “lefty mode” shouldn’t even be a concern.

Dont bother me. right handed. my aunt is left handed and plays wii fine though.
Game over IGN. Try again?
> Yes
> No
I’m right-handed by the way so it doesn’t bother me.
