Starved for everything Zelda I could get my hands on after Twilight Princess, I got this on release and was massively let down by it not having any sort of story or, in fact, any logical reason for existing. But I guess I still squeezed it for all the bucks I had spent.
A Zelda-themed on-rails shooter with a goofy plastic peripheral that Nintendo never really uses again. What's not to love? (It is actually pretty fun)
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.
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.

This is a good shooter and in fact the wii was the best console for shooters.
Don't believe me but the console was banned from Call of Duty competitions due to how easy was it to aim when you're aiming at real speed without the imprecision of a mouse or, even worse, a joystick.
Anyways this is a nice game, if it wasn't a Zelda people would be less pissed about it.

Da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa, Shakespeare wrote Macbeth, Einstein solved relativity and Vanilla Ice performed his hit song Ice Ice Baby, all of these major canonical events being then followed up by the best videogame ever made: this one. Only reason it gets a 10/10 score is that backloggd does not allow for higher, the complex and in-depth gameplay mechanics, the heartfelt and touching story, the masterful level and audio design, all the unique ideas baked into this game truly just create an irreplaceable experience. While some might argue that it's sequel, Persona 5, achieves a more complete package with it's nuances, however I believe the original king is still the true king. Very happy that such a worthy entry has got to be my introduction to The Legend of Zelda series. I think I should play it's spinoff soon as well, I'm told it has a horse!
genuinely really good. vr before vr
This game started a war in my house.
It's a completely fine shooting gallery minigame made with the stupid Wii Zapper attachment in mind.
the opps was talking wild on ig so i pulled up on em with a wii zapper. they hit my shit with a bazooka
Pretty much a tech demo for plastic bullshit, but still a pretty fun time. The free roam bits are worth the $5 entry price.
