I dislike the split timeline, but...it has been officially confirmed
 
Alrighty than...

Besides getting off-topic, does blood relation really matter if a person is Left Handed or not?

Seriously, handedness happens by chance. For all we know, Toon Link could have trained himself to become ambidextrous.

So why debate?
Only a few Links (OoT and ALttP for example) are blood related. So, genetics would have much to do with it.

Link, as a character, is left-handed because Shigeru Miyamoto is.
 
Its time for me to show off my Zelda nerdiness. Although Ganondorf is always the same character, originally because of his demonic Ganon form then because of Magical Reserection, the Link & Zelda in the Zelda series aren't always the same Link & Zelda, they're usually only the same for a couple of games. However, it is said that the Links and Zeldas are reincarnations of the original Link and Zelda of Ocarina of Time & Majora's Mask. This is because of the Goddesses, Nayru, Din, & Farore's, divine interference with Ganondorf, for whenever he should arise, there will be a Link and a Zelda to oppose his Dark Designs.

I've paired together and color coded the games where they are the same Link as previously used Link.

Legend of Zelda
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
(However, the Zelda in this was a different Zelda, one put into a magically induced sleep even before the events of OoT and also the reason why every princess is named Zelda)

A Link to the Past
Link's Awakening


Ocarina of Time
Majora's Mask


Oracle of Seasons
Oracle of Ages


Four Swords
Four Swords Adventure


Wind Waker
Phantom Hourglass


That leaves these games as the only current Zelda games featuring a Link that wasn't yet used for another game: Minish Cap & Twilight Princess, although chances are the next Wii Zelda will use the TP Link again.

Note: The Link used in the Super Smash Bros. series is suppose to be an embodiment of every Link, despite using the appearance of the most recently used Adult Link. Young Link is also used like this in Super Smash Bros. Melee, Toon Link, however, is meant to be the same Link seen in Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass due to the trophy description for him, even though he was a Young Link replacement.
