My bigger beef is crossbow=fail

It has
none of the awesomeness  of firing a real bow
none of the Kaboom of firing a real gun

swords>bows>MetalGear>Explosives>guns>flaming bags of poo>sticks and stones>puppies>a crossbow

Well a crossbow can shoot farther and faster than a standard hand-drawn arrow, so I think that's a bit more practical than your little definition of "awesomeness"... =)

but thats the point of a plastic case! that you don't have to imagine it. Oh well, at least it has the right price for once.

And I've seen some blurry scans and it seems to me its still lefty Link.

I've never played Pokemon Snap, but isn't it an on-rails game?

This and the 3rd party Zapper games are my sleeper Wii hit(s) of the fall.

I bought the third party "Wii Blaster", which resembles a sawed off shotgun more than anything, and while it looks pretty cool, my arms got real tired, real fast when I used it to play RE4.

Hopefully Nintendo's version won't be as ergonomically backwards as this one.

It's been too long since I've played it.

As far as Zelda games go, I'm a little weird.  I played LTTP and beat it through rentals back around when I was in second grade, maybe a little before that.  A year or two later, I finally played LoZ II, and thought it was alright, but never really got too far.  Later I played OoT and made it through the first dungeon, but that was it.  I skipped Majora's Mask but played each of the Oracle games a little, and bought the GBA LTTP for the Four Swords part, and beat that part, but not the main game.  I skipped over The Minish Cap, but I completed Four Swords Adventure, once again, skipping Wind Waker, but for this one, it was only because I didn't have time, not because of lack of interest.  I never had a chance to play LA, either.  Oh, and I did play LoZ, but the lack of a map, combined with an urge to explore the entire land before I do anything, along with low initial help really killed the game in minutes for me.

Now TP came out, and I never picked it up.  It was the top item on my Christmas list for back home, but it was strangely skipped over, and I don't care enough about the game to go out and get it for myself.  The odd part?  This crossbow game might be on my hit list.  I think the fact is that a normal Zelda just gets too dull for me.  I always feel like the combat is mediocre and the puzzles are just tedious filler.  Because of the way the overworld is set-up most of the time, with a glimpse of greater areas not yet accessible, I get frustrated by a lack of adventure and forced into a predetermined pathway in a game that is supposed to feel more open.  At least with the Fours Swords games, they are openly linear and don't attempt to hide it.  It's not like I haven't tried to like several titles, I just don't click with the series.

Oddly enough, I always seem to love the spin-offs, though.

Really???? I need to find the arcade machine. I never played it cause I had the game at home.


It only works in the later rounds AFAIK. If you can't find an arcade machine there's still MAME but we don't talk about that, right?

There was a whole thread about this on IGN.  a guy said this game being called Link's CROSSBOW training indicated that the next Zelda game would be a futuristic game, since Link has never had a crossbow.  He talked about it for like 2 pages.  Dear Lord, that is the biggest pulling outta ur arse I've ever seen.

More like Link vs Mario: IN SPACE. In fact I bet that will be the twist in Mario Galaxy, that Link is the final boss!
