Zelda: Twilight Princess Guide - Wii vs. GCN versions
No, this isn't the Zelda series back story, sorry. That story is far to long and convoluted. Further, though there is a chronological order to the Zelda games, no one has officially confirmed a timeline yet. The only thing we know about this game is it takes place “100 years after Ocarina of Time.”
With that out of the way, back the purpose of this section. This game was originally set as a Gamecube release title, due out in 04. However, because the Gamecube was on it's last legs anyway and Nintendo's new console (Wii) was coming very soon, they delayed and delayed till it was finally announced as a launch title for the Wii.
This caused a problem, however, as they couldn't leave Gamecube owners hanging. So, they released the original version of Twilight Princess on the Gamecube.
Since the Wii's version used the Wii Remote to control Link's sword, they determined that Link should hold his sword in his right hand to correspond to the majority of people playing. This caused a problem. It would be to time consuming to re-program the game to actually make Link left handed (yes, link is RIGHT HANDED in other Zelda titles), so instead they took the entire game coding, and mirrored it.
*THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART*
So in the Wii version, left is right and right is left. Since this guide is written for the Wii version, if you are playing the Gamecube version every time I say “right” read it as “left” and vise-versa.
Other then this and the control scheme, the Gamecube and Wii versions are identical, though the Wii version does support 480p and Widescreen modes, while the Gamecube version does not.
Left right, left right, left right, left right. hey i think we are dancing now.........

Guys who cares about if Link is a lefty or righty, just enjoy a good game!
Actually the GC version DOES support 480p for anyone that was lucky enough to have the GC with the component output and the component cable. Or you can just pop it in the wii and run it that way.
To everyone saying Link is right handed in the Virtual Console version of MM, he isn't..he's left handed. I have that version. And he's left handed in the master quest, too. It's part of his character.
Link is a lefty in ALL the games EXCEPT Skyward Sword, Twilight Princess, the Master Quest version of Ocarina of Time, and the Virtual Console version of MM.
Wait, Zelda is right-handed in the GCN version and left-handed n the Wii version.
Like I said, originally the GCN version is the official, Link has always been left handed and now changed due to nintendo stupidity.
Zelda in the Wii version and a karaoke song: Rose Rose I Love You.
Well, enough about the hands...the GC version scored higher officially than the wii version, so...
The Wii version that Link and Zelda are like my favorite MHD couples. Link is right-handed and Zelda is left-handed.
Sadly this article is not editable. But if it was I would change the "This caused a problem. It would be to time consuming to re-program the game to actually make Link left handed (yes, link is RIGHT HANDED in other Zelda titles), so instead they took the entire game coding," to:
"This caused a problem. It would be to time consuming to re-program the game to actually make Link right handed (yes, link is Left HANDED in the other Zelda titles), so instead they took the entire game coding"
And yes, Link has always been left handed in basically all the games. Anyone that states other-wise either played the Wii version, or they just don't remember and are too stupid to Google image it. Also I might add that the whole Link being right-handed on Twilight Princess was utterly foolish. The fact that they did that for the majority or the players is okay, but not really making the game more Wii adapted with links sword-play wronged it. You never needed to have Link right handed, its not like you had to do the same slashes Link does. In fact, you can even scratch your head while doing all of Link's attacks, just saying it wasn't really needed to do the mirroring unlike with Skyward.
Not to be rude with you Wii lovers but......... THE GAME CUBE ROCKS!!!
Oh, and here's a video for the female beetle (and some other bugs).
