Nintendo has announced that their upcoming Wii Zapper will come packaged with Link's Crossbow Training, a Legend of Zelda mini-game demonstrating the potential uses of the Zapper. Link's Crossbow Training will "[drop] players into a world in the style of The Legend of Zeldaź: Twilight Princess. Players assume the identity of hero Link, who progresses through a series of tests to perfect his crossbow marksmanship. Start with stationary bull's-eyes and graduate to moving targets before defending Link against all kinds of enemies."
The Wii Zapper is expected to launch November 19 of this year.
