Product Description
The Wii Zapper is a gun peripheral that allows the user to insert a Wii Remote and Nunchuk, both sold separately, into either end and play a compatible game. The control stick on the Nunchuk controls player movement (on stages that allow player movement), while aiming the Wii Zapper moves the targeting reticule on the screen. The Zapper comes with Link's Crossbow Training, which helps to familiarize the player with the Zapper in a shooting gallery style game. Link's Crossbow Training contains three game styles: target shooting, defender and ranger.
Features:
- Target Shooting: In target-shooting rounds, players shoot bull's-eyes as they pop up on the screen. In early stages, targets are stationary. As the game difficulty increases in later levels, the targets move. Hitting the center of the bull's-eye nets more points, and hitting targets in succession without missing earns combo multipliers. Link can aim anywhere on the screen.
- Defender: In defender rounds, players remain stationary but can look and aim in all directions by aiming off screen. Hordes of enemies assault Link, and he must fight them off. These battles have a great deal of variety, from fighting off skeletons in a desert to defending a wagon from boar-riding Bokoblins.
- Ranger: In ranger rounds, players can move throughout the level using the control stick and aim anywhere they want by aiming the Wii Zapper wherever they want to look. In these missions, Link storms enemy encampments, fights his way through a forest and seeks out his foes while exploring the environments.
- The Wii Remote and Nunchuk are sold separately

The only issue with Wii Zapper is that it doesn't handle the Nyko Battery Kit for Charge Station for Wii with the rubber grip on. Removing the rubber grip/battery cover resolves the issue and while an inconvenience it isn't a big issue. For those who use the Jacket that comes with the Wii Remote will find that you will have to remove it before using the Wii Zapper. While another inconvenience for some; for others, including me, who don't use the Jacket this is a non issue.
Link's Crossbow is an excellent game, while there is no storyline, the 9 levels with three stages each make for an addictive game play. The graphics are well done and in combination with Official Wii Zapper the experience is is quite good.
Each level features three stages. The first stage is straight up target practice of still targets. The second is shooting moving targets from a fix location. The third state allows you to move link around an area shooting enemy targets who are shooting back. Those who like First Person Shooters (and other similar game categories) will especially like this third stage.
In short either product is worth the price tag, both together for the price is even better.
I know the point of buying this is mostly for the zapper itself, and it is immensely useful for many games on the Wii. But the game that comes with it is loads of fun too, and we enjoy it a lot. In fact, the one I bought for ourselves came with a non-working game, and I returned it to the store to get a new one because of it. We bought it more for the game than the zapper. The game is enjoyable even if you don't already have the full Zelda game for the Wii; in fact you don't even have to know anything about the Zelda games or the universe to enjoy it. It's just a practice shooting game, shooting at stable and moving targets and enemies. This game is fun for adults as well as kids, though the younger children might not be able to play very well as it does require a lot of hand-eye coordination. (You're aiming a gun/crossbow essentially.)
It is easy to use, though it might be a bit tricky to wrap the nun-chuck cord the first time or two. I think the handling of the zapper is pretty natural, and works well for right and left-handed people. Those with larger hands may have a bit of trouble, but not much.
There's really not much else to say, since most of it is pretty self-explanatory. Have fun!
The zapper which is what you are spending the other 10 bucks on is ok as well. I agree I would rather have the z buttom on the nunchuck programed as the trigger and the B button on the controller as the zoom. Maybe I can switch these but haven't figured out how to in the pack in game. It would be so much more natural to have set it up that way. However it seems to be what it is and you can learn the use the other finger. The other draw back is getting the gun set up to point at what you want it to is only so so. I am 6'3" and when i stand and try to hold it rifle style the controller points down to far for the sensor to geton the screen no matter the adjustment. To get it dailed in I have to be directly in front of the TV or sitting down in front of it. So it is doable, I just cannot play standing.
Defenitely room for improvement but overall I am OK with what I got for the price I paid. The kids love it and I als oenjoy it and would make the purchase again.
