Talk:Majestic Greatsword/@comment-82.40.151.166-20141019043744

I think the main thing people need to realise when they comment about Artorias being left-handed or right-handed is this. Despite Dark Souls being a game and in the world of games anything is possible, wielding a sword is a matter of skill and practice over the years of which you use it. Artorias was deemed a fantastic swordsman and for all his left arm is virtually useless in the battle against him in Dark Souls 1, he still managed to pull off roughly a similar moveset as to the Majestic Greatsword in his right hand.

If his right arm was broken and his left arm was free to use, I'm sure he'd still be able to swing it in a similar fashion due to his skill as a swordsman. Sure if the player can wield the sword in his left-hand, use it effectively like Artorias with the lore description saying it was inherited by left-handed swordsmen it could possibly link back to Artorias, saying his dominant hand was his left. But in the end Artorias knew how to use his blade.

Performing acrobatics while swinging a sword isn't just the use of your arm. Your entire body comes into play just so you can land the flip. In the game, it is just a mechanic. But from a real life persepective, using a sword in your non-dominant hand may prove difficult but one can adapt to change.
