so, it's more than likely that artorias was left handed and here is why

1.pauldron placement is meaningless in dark souls, just because his pauldron was on his left doesn't exactly mean he held his sheild in his left, especially considering he is never really seen in game with that sheild.

2. his left arm has either disentegrated or been broken, how the fuck did he do that if he wasn't holding his sword in his left, did someone just break it for shits and giggles?

3. the american box art for souls 1 depicts a knight wearing some very similar armor to daddy wolf, looking back and forth between pictures of the two it is very likely the knight on the cover is artorias himself, and he's holding the sword in his left, a sword that looks a LOT like wolf daddy's wolf sword

4. mystic greatsword, are you telling me artorias' descendants simply decided to switch hands? no, considering how specific dark souls is, they were more than likely ALL lefties, artorias included.

But, to play devil's advocate, i do have one reason i think artorias might be right handed. Guts is right handed primarily (then again hard to use your left when it's in the middle of shit fuck hell), and miyazaki loves berserk, and it's clear that guts is the proto-artorias, so maybe miyazaki wanted artorias to be right handed just like guts?
