I'm left-handed, and I always make a point of having left-handed characters in my work. We're underrepresented in a lot of media. I'm still mad that Nintendo started making Link right-handed.

A Link cosplayer at Ratha Con was actually the inspiration for this strip. I asked if she was left-handed, as she wore the sword over her left shoulder, and she told me that she was not but wanted to keep the character accurate. I appreciated this, although when I brought it up with other cosplayers, they didn't see this decision as particularly special and expressed similar views to the above comic strip.

Personally, if I were cosplaying someone that had no access to their non-dominant left hand, I'd probably flip it. Then again, maybe not, I'm pretty good with my right hand.
