Link's Crossbow Training is a simple but enjoyable shooting gallery experience that leverages the world and characters of the Zelda franchise. Utilizing the Wii Zapper peripheral, you'll aim and shoot targets across various environments inspired by Twilight Princess. While the core gameplay lacks depth for extensive play, its straightforward arcade-style action and Zelda charm can provide short bursts of fun, especially for fans of the series looking to try out the Zapper.
This is a really boring game made to sell the gimmick device known as the Wii Zapper, development stories for this game make me so upset seeing as how the team wanted to make this game an extra story for Twilight Princess, but instead was forced to make a bare bones arcade shooter. Basically Link has a crossbow that shoots like a modern firearm... That's it.
Its not a fun game at all, there is no incentive to play the game past the first level as there is no actual boss battles, worthwhile upgrades, cosmetics, or anything to show progression other than "get big numbers."
I will say they have some variety having on rail sections, small movement sections, and "bosses" that just require you to shoot smarter, but that's about it. Hell even the music choices is off-putting, why is the Goron theme playing in Orden?
Whatever, at least links crossbow looks cool I guess and yes I did unfortunately play this with a Wii Zapper.

Definitely one of the more gimmicky Zelda games, if you can even call it a "Zelda game". It's actually more similar to Wii Sports or 1-2 Switch ---- a game in which Nintendo shows you what a new system or peripheral can do. In this case, the Wii Zapper. And from what I recall it was perfectly adequate. It's a silly, somewhat amusing arcade-like shooting game with a Zelda: Twilight Princess coat of paint.
the opps was talking wild on ig so i pulled up on em with a wii zapper. they hit my shit with a bazooka
It's a completely fine shooting gallery minigame made with the stupid Wii Zapper attachment in mind.
