Um, because he is the "link" to um... something... It's on the tip of my fingers. (typing)
Maybe someone else can explain it. I can't

Link is the symbol of the hero within you... He is also the link between you and the world in the game (Hyrule)...

I think this explanation is the official and right one. I might be wrong though.

The word 'link' is also the German translation for 'left'. For example, 'Links fahren' means 'drive left'. As you know, Link is left-handed.

i am almost possitive that that has nothing to do with it.

i think that link is left handed because Miyamoto is left handed,(i may be wrong about that, can anyone else confirm that?)

I am almost positive that it is just coincidence. I am almost positive that I threw that in there for discussion purposes.
