Someone should overlay the graph showing the rise of the acceptance of left-handedness over time, with a graph of Zelda releases over time.

You mean, the same reason why anybody's gay? They're born that way?

What do they expect? "A wizard turned him gay."

This is where the line gets blurry tho. On one hand, yeah, bigots exist, but on the other hand, I could see this being a clumsy attempt at complaining about poor writing.

Like, I'm pretty sure I said something like this when Rowling said Dumbledore was gay. I'm not cishet, amd it still feels like she retconned that in for points, especially now that we're seeing exactly what she thinks about LGBT stuff.

If you don't need a plot reason for a male character to have a wife, then you don't need a plot reason for a male character to have a husband.

Here's a couple random ones, outside of the obvious (Link from The Legend of Zelda).

Some of the character models in Warcraft 3 were left-handed, like the Footman and the Grunt. The weird implication in this is that in the Warcraft universe, left-handed is the default, because while the common Footmen were lefties, the heroic Paladin was right-handed.

Some of the party members from early Final Fantasy games were left-handed: Leila and Leon from FF2, and Kain and Palom from FF4. Because of the 2D sprites it didn't show very well during battles, but it did affect the way their equipment was arranged in the menus.
