Zelda Crossbow Training announced!

If you're a manager for a GameStop store, at this moment you're in Vegas, enjoying all the vendors pitching their games to you. A source at the show tells Opposable Thumbs thatafter Nintendo's speech, the managerswere given a world-exclusive first look at the pack-in game for the Wii Zapper. Are you ready? Zelda Crossbow Training.

"The game looked beautiful," my source said. "I'm pretty sure it was running on the Twilight Princess engine. It's a third-person game, and you had some control over Link. While the video was way too short to get a good idea of the gameplay, it looks like a light-gun inspired Zelda title." (He says that as if we'd know what a light gun-inspired Zelda title would look like.)

This is huge news, and it should sell a bunch of Wii Zappers. Zelda Crossbow Training will come packaged with the Wii Zapper hardware for $20. No specific release date was given.

it is legit, or seemingly so. Definitely looks intriguing, makes the Wii Zapper a great deal more appealing.

Wait so is this like a TP update? Or just like a small TP demo where a crossbow is used? Or a demo from the next Wii Zelda (Highly unlikely) using a crossbow?

No. Apparently, it's just a Zelda minigame.
