with the Nunchuk controlling movement. On the Wii Remote, players simply press down the trigger (the B Button) to fire, or continue the pressure for a more powerful shot. They can also re-position themselves, turning in different directions by aiming the pointer off-screen. On the Nunchuk the Z-Button acts as a zoom function for the camera so that the shot is completely on target. Links Crossbow Training sees each player take on the role of Link in a series of exciting and fast-paced challenges set in the world of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Players can also use a Wii Zapper with Links Crossbow Training and practice Target Shooting as well as the Defender and Ranger modes, ensuring an action-packed experience in numerous stages spread over nine levels. The object of each stage is to achieve the highest score before the time limit expires. Utilising the innovative Wii Zapper allows players to take aim and fullyimmerse themselves into the game in a completely new way!

...it to by accustoming the player to the Zapper, but a bit more would always be nice.
Conclusion
To conclude, Link's Crossbow Training is short but enjoyable, and gets players familiarised with the Zapper quickly and easily just as intended.
As good as the zapper may be £20 is still a fair amount to pay if the bundled game is no good. Does it do the Zapper justice?
Graphics As you may expect, the graphics are identical to Twilight Princess, but this is nothing to complain about. You will visit numerous familiar locations if you played the Wii game, and you will be met by the same beautiful graphics once again.
Gameplay/Lifespan This is where the game falls down the most, but it can be excused as it is only meant to help you get comfortable with the Wii Zapper. That said, it is still hugely enjoyable while it lasts. Basically, the game is made up of 27 levels spread over 9 stages with 3 distinctly different types of level spread out over the stages. The first type is an on-rails shooting level, where you travel on a fixed route. Whether you are riding Epona or travelling down a waterfall, you have to shoot the targets with special bonus targets available as well as an orange rupee hidden somewhere in the destructible scenery. The second type of level is where you are fixed on the spot, and surrounded by enemies which you have to kill to defend yourself. Normally limited to 3 or 4 a level, special green glowing enemies will spawn, which when killed will grant you 100 automatic arrows. These can be especially useful when surrounded by a whole gang of enemies. The final type of level is the free-roaming stage. Here, you have a set time to destroy a target number of enemies. The one factor which will keep some of you returning is the high score feature, which is a conventional combo system where the bigger the chain of enemies you kill without missing a shot, the more points you score.
That is the basic setup of the game, but unfortunately it feels like a taster of what you could have been playing. However, this is meant to fulfil the same purpose as Wii Play (which came with a free remote) by allowing the user to familiarise themselves with the new peripheral. It does this perfectly, and because of that a £20 price tag can be attached to the package. As far as lifespan goes, the game will have high score addicts coming back for more, trying to reach the truly challenging heights of the platinum awards. The Zapper however, will last for a long time depending on the other games you purchase to use with it.
Controls These are just as you would expect, once the Wii Remote is clipped into the top of the Zapper, hit B to fire and point where you want to aim. The Nunchuk, once clipped in, is used to move around via the analogue stick, and Z is used to zoom. The only problem I have with the controls is as you move the analogue stick to move, you also have to point the Zapper to turn yourself to look in another direction. This can be fiddly at first as well as annoying, and may take a considerable amount of time to get used to.
Multiplayer The game does support a multiplayer mode for 1-4 players, but unless you have a lot of pocket money, you and your mates with have to fight over who uses the Wii Zapper. One possible solution is to tell your mates to buy their own, and bring it round so everyone can use one.
Wi-Fi? The game doesn't support Wi-Fi.
Cost This will cost you £20 is most places you look, which when all things are considered, isn't a bad price at all. Think of the Wii Zapper itself as an investment, and the more games you get to use with it, the more it pays for itself. As for the game, it does exactly what Nintendo want it to by accustoming the player to the Zapper, but a bit more would always be nice.
Conclusion To conclude, Link's Crossbow Training is short but enjoyable, and gets players familiarised with the Zapper quickly and easily just as intended.
Advantages: Cheap, game Included Disadvantages: Not many games supported at this time
The Wii Zapper is the Offical Nintendo Light Gun for the Wii. The Item Costs £17.99 - £19.99 and comes Bundled with Links Crossbow Training which i will explain Very Shortly.
Well thats see what you get in the Box Wii Zapper + Booklet

250 Stars (exchange for wii points)
The wii Zapper is very light weight and can support the wii Remote and Nunchuk. In most Games the Nunchuk is used For movemet and the wii remote is used ... ...i talk about the game. Links Crossbow Training Contains eight levels and is based on Zelda. You use the Wii Zapper to shoot basic targets in the game and as you progress you will use the nunchuk to move around the game. The game was included in the wii for the purpose to make you master the wii zapper. I fell the game included is very Good and is more in the arcade area.
The wii Zapper can be used in a few games on the Wii Such as MOH Heros 2 Resident ...

Advantages: Zelda we know and love, with a new twist. Disadvantages: Very gimmicky in terms of plastic zapper.
...in future games, but in Link's Crossbow Training is used to represent a bow.
LCT is a very short game, hence the price tag of £19.99. I got this for my birthday, and played with my friends. They were unimpressed by the length of time the game could be completed in (about 2 hours with little effort). Admittedly, though, you can get bronze, silver, gold and platinum medals which require more practice and skill. Another let down is the lack of multiplayer, ... ...(quite passive and potentially boring for the people watching though).
The game encompasses a variety of levels of the RPG 'Twilight Princess', the last release in the Zelda series before this one. The integration of the enemies, music, scenes and characters is effective, but it makes you wonder why they didn't just incorporate them in 'Twilight Princess' itself, since LCT is so short.
The zapper was comfortable to hold, and my friends agreed that ...

Advantages: Great fun and a bonus gun Disadvantages: Not the best graphics in the worls
The graphics aren't something to be wished for but this game is very fun. Link the main character from the massive hit Wii game "The Legend of Zelda" is the star of the show, but you still have to control him. The object of the game is to shoot the targets in many different types of mini-games. The soundtrack is well, missing and it's certainly not for the hardcore players of today. This is another one of the Wii famous "out of your seat games." ... ...be used with more up coming games with the Wii. Unfortunately there is no on-line option which I think would of made the game 100 times better but never to worry you can have battles with the family as there are over 20 different levels including 3 different boss levels. This game is one for everyone, so if you don't mind sticking on a green dress and loading up your virtual cross bow then get this its not bad. ...

Advantages: Easy to use, challenging but fun, cool Zelda environments Disadvantages: The game itself is short.
...me the Wii Zapper plus Link's Crossbow Training game package for an early Christmas gift. Basically, the Wii Zapper is an add-on for the Wii remote and nunchuck. It is shaped like a gun held with 2 hands and you place the Wii remote and nunchuck into the Wii Zapper. It's pretty cool, it makes it easier to play games in which you point the Wii remote at the screen in any target-style games. The fact that you hold it with 2 hands and the way it is ... ...pretty cheap and can provide entertainment for a long time to come. The Wii Zapper plus Link's Crossbow Training game can be purchase at any major store that sells Wii games and Wii merchandise. The package I have was purchased at Wal-Mart. I hope you enjoy! Have a happy holiday!! ...

Advantages: Like a real gun, cheap Disadvantages: None
I am a big fan of the Nintendo Wii and love getting new, different games for it so was quite excited when I got a Wii Zapper to play certain games with. I actually bought the game Link?sCrossbowTraining and got a zapper with the game which was great and a really good bargain and I?m glad I did because it?s a fantastic little addition to the Wii. According to Nintendo it, ?allows for more diverse play styles.? The idea for the Wii zapper first came about right at the beginning of the Wii itself but it took until the 25th October 2007 before one was released in Japan and November 19th 2007 in the USA and December 7th 2007 in Europe.
For me the Wii is all about game interaction, playing tennis, bowling etc and having the actions as life-like as possible so when you get a good shoot-em-up it?s always better to play ...
A whole new game play system exclusive to the Wii | The intensive action throughout the entire game | Total control over all vehicles, such as tanks and jeeps.
The shortness of the game | Graphics declining from its' prequel | Lack of multiplayer. (*)
