All-in-all, it's a pretty weird thing to try to talk about/make sense of.

So ya, either to-left, or directly above for those times you need to do some horizontal flips. But in Graal/Zelda you need to think less technical and more aesthetically. A technically correct shadow/lighting may not always look the best. However the two I mentioned tend to be the only ones you really need.
Haha thats what I meant xD... bottom left with the z-axis being top! haha

for instance, you have a cube standing in the room, the source would then be -x/-y/+z
