I am not a FORTRAN command, I am a free man!

The fact that more than one of you is FORTRAN-saavy is, frankly, very very VERY frightening. That's not just nerdy, that's ubernerdy! (See what I did there?
 )Yeah, I'm a proud member of the DOS generation. I had Apple IIe's back in elementary school (go Number Munchers! Go Carmen Sandiego! Go go GO Oregon Trail!  ), but FORTRAN? Oh, and as an aside...yikes computers have advanced in just the last twenty years, haven't they? I know, I know, once again the upstart 24-year old is showing his supreme ignorance by feigning to be wise in all branches of wisdom. Well, I had to come to grips with my identity as a pompous upstart a long time ago. It's actually interesting work if you can get it.

I did. Neither do I. That's the point.

I pretty much cheated and looked up a list of programming languages that use the GOTO command. This is the Internet, after all.

To return to the original topic, it turns out we didn't know the half of it. It's not just Link's handedness that's reversed in the GC version... it's the entire game. Every asymmetric object is flipped; every left turn is a right. As far as I'm concerned, that's just laziness, and it's gonna make talking about the game very confusing.

The real downside there is, the map (so far, anyway) seems to resemble Ocarina of Time's map in terms of where everything is... only it's all reversed. Which makes the nostalgia not quite so nostalgiasmic.
Regardless, the game is fantastic.

Come to think of it, that does make sense, flipping the entire world. I suppose it would be a much simpler algorithm to flip the coordinates on the y-axis or whatever than to flip Link's sprite.
I can bet that the writers of the strategy guide are just gonna LOVE that. Informal poll, how much you wanna be that they won't even bother with the Gamecube version, except for a little disclaimer at the start that mentions the flip and basic control movements for the GC controller?

Um, given that this game is supposed to be HUGE with a capital HUGE, I'm not sure that squeezing it onto a Gamecube disc and then tell it to flip the entire world or not would be that simple. Remember, the world may be flipped, but there are a lot of things like the icons, words, etc that have to stay the same. I also hope that whenever we see Hylian words on the wooden signs and so forth that they stay the same one version to another.
