Who's to say no motion controls? Or maybe you swipe the stylus on the gamepad to use your sword, so they made him right handed again to help the majority of consumers.

Eiji Aonuma: No one explicitly said that that was Link.

Cross dominance is a thing. Imagine being an ambidex and dealing with that. :/
As I said above, how you hold a bow isn't dependent on handedness, it is dependent on which of your two eyes is dominant. Those are two independent traits. However, Link has consistently been left-eye dominant in every Zelda game, even when they changed his handedness. This character is right-eye-dominant.

Except, this is a game not a manga
Beg to differ. Look at the new art style.

Twilight Princess is the only game where he holds the bow in his left hand, and that's because literally everything was flipped. They've been consistent about it before, someone else mentioned in the GC version he still holds the bow in his right.
EDIT: WInd Waker art too:

You know believe it or not, I think most would be cool with this, especially if Link trained him/her. Because then you have Link getting some, so knowing he still existed, and then this.
Unfortunately I don't see Nintendo doing this. Because then they'd have to add a character who always compares you to the father, Peppy style.
"That was a great shot Zink, your father used to shoot just like that"
While I agree it's probably a male, there is more than one Japanese art style. So you can't really judge by the eye shape.

I don't think it'll have the same motion controls as Skyward Sword. They don't care about the Wii Remote anymore, it's all about the Gamepad. And you can't use the Wii Remote like that and use the Gamepad at the same time.

That would be a belt.

It just looks like a fold in the shirt. I think you guys are seeing things that aren't there.
lol thats honestly what I'm thinking. Link + Tetra?
Heh, yeah I think he's just clowning with people.
Link is right-eye dominant in TP Wii.
Of course that's because the whole game was flipped, but why let a minor detail like that get in the way of this completely serious argument.

I think you are going mad.... That is no bewb jiggle. XD
Let's hope they don't do that. Nintendo, give me combat similar to WW but with small improvements and I'll be happy.

The hair actually seems quite long.
Without the ponytail, it would clearly come down to about the same length as the hair on the sides. A pretty long haircut for a male Link.
I dunno, this is pretty long too:

I don't think they ever thougth about eye-dominance for this.
Link was left handed, so they did everything appropriately until TP for the wii due to motion controls. SS uses right hand sword for similar reasons, and right hand bow for the same reason also.

Just shows how engaed we are and how the marketing and devs don't know how to interact.

I'll head to sleep with this statement: If Nintendo does intend to make the starring character a female, making her look exactly Link could cause a lot of disapproval. I would think that people as straightforward as Nintendo would've made her more obviously female, and what we have so far is just Link with different traits than others, which tends to be the case, but due to a troll comment people are grasping at straws and calling it truthfact.
If it ends up being true that's ballsy of Nintendo and I'd respect them for it. But you're only hurting yourself in hyping yourself up if you want this to happen. I'd recommend waiting for an actual answer or more footage that makes it more obvious. Character designs can change on the fly.

Jiggle physics arnt evil or perverted, they're just and animation short-cut.
If done well you would never notice unless you're looking.

I think its a girl! Or a very pretty man...
Just a playful way to acknowledge all the madness I guess?
I'd be hugely surprised if that character wasn't Link come the time we get more information.
I wonder what Aonuma is truly thinking right at this moment or how he would react if he was shown this thread.
in a 2014 world, link being male amounts to basically nothing

Detective Gaf delivers!
fantasize?
It's not. They wouldn't show him without his gear or the tunic.
We have an adult human male/female comparison picture in here as well, useful when measuring a cartoon anime video game character from Japan.
This is so good in too many ways.

Hmm. I did not know I had this fantasy...
