    Are there even left-handed main characters left? The most famous one that most people know, Link, is slowly becoming right-handed and I’m having a hard time remembering any other main characters who are actually left handed.

      I couldn’t name you a left handed main character, best I can do is name two games which give you the ability to swap between what hand you use. Those being Minecraft and CS2 (counterstrike 2), with CS2 having a dedicated keybind for swapping what hand you use.

        CS used to be left-handed by default, and since some people got used to that they kept the option to use either.

          In CS2 it actually has gameplay changes attached to it. Since it changes where the gun sticks out and where the bullet comes from it has actually gameplay uses too now, hence why the key bind exists.

          Earlier games you could change where it appears on your screen with a console command. However only you saw it and it still functioned like a right handed gun would.

      Some of the weapon types in Monster Hunter (Sword & Shield, Lance) have the hunter be left-handed

        You know, I played a lot of lance and never realised that. I guess it’s because it’s right trigger to block?

        I guess canonically that probably means hunters are ambidextrous.
