15 Weirdest The Legend Of Zelda Spin-Offs

6. Link's Crossbow Training

There was a point in time when Nintendo was obsessed with releasing weird accessories with their games. The Wii Balance Board and the Wii Steering Wheel are the most remembered but before those, we had the Wii Zapper which was bundled in with Link's Crossbow Training.

A plastic accessory that when connected to the Wii Remote and Nunchuck almost feels like something distantly related to an actual gun, the Wii Zapper was something you'd use once before never touching again. Luckily the game that it was attached to was actually alright.

Link's Crossbow Training is weird, and barely feels like a Zelda game but that doesn't mean it's not fun.

Shooting your way through iconic locations from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is great, it's just a shame that the game is so short, being about an hour long.

The game does encourage you to replay it to get high scores but there are only so many times you can go through the same location without it getting boring.

Whilst the game is alright, it's weird that Link was chosen to be Nintendo's ambassador for guns, surely Samus would have been a better pick for that?
