Rumor: Wii Zapper will come with Zelda mini-game

Link's Crossbow Training to be thrown in with Wii accessory

September 10, 2007

A handful of gaming sites are reporting that the upcoming Nintendo Wii accessory, the Wii Zapper, will be bundled with a Zelda game: Link's Crossbow Training.

The game, which is apparently fairly small, apparently uses the same game engine as Zelda: Twilight Princess, but focuses on arcade-style use of the Zapper to power Link's bow and arrow.

The Zapper itself is a fairly simple accessory that straps your existing Wii Remote and Nunchuk attachment into a plastic frame, allowing you to hold the controllers like a gun. Similar attachments have already been released by third parties.

Nintendo has yet to make an official, public announcement about the bundle. The Wii Zapper, though, is set to retail at about $20 U.S. No release date has been set.
