Anyone can pick up the Wii Zapper and become a master marksman in the quick-play shooting galleries of Link's Crossbow Training, known in Japan as Link's Bowgun Training (リンクのボウガントレーニング Rinku no Bōgan Torēningu). Dozens of fast-paced stages offer a wide variety of game play, from shooting stationary targets to defending a supply wagon from onrushing hordes of enemies. Multiplayer modes let players and their friends share a Wii Zapper to shoot for the high score.
It was bundled with the Wii Zapper peripheral and was the first title to use it. It uses several environments, enemies, and other assets from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess as stages for targets with various shootable background objects.
Problems
There are no reported problems with this title.
Enhancements
Bloom Offset at Higher IR
When playing at higher internal resolutions, bloom effects will scale incorrectly, with multiple copies of the bloom spread out from the source, which can be very distracting.
Graphics Mods can be used to render the bloom at native resolution, blur the bloom to native resolution (only available after 2603-215) or disable it altogether.
When no Graphics Mods are available for the game, disabling Scaled EFB Copy can be used as a workaround. This will render all EFB effects at native resolution.
Because bloom effects are often rendered at low resolutions, the bloom may appear shimmery when rendered at native resolution.
Configuration
This title does not need non-default settings to run properly.

| 3.0 | Windows 7 | Intel Core i3 | ATI Radeon | Very good (very little lag in the score menu or in the goron level)! | Lesnico |
| 3.0-763 | Windows 7 | Intel Core i5-2450M @ 2.5 GHz | AMD Radeon HD 7610M | Perfect | Chinmorph |
| 2512 | Windows 11 | AMD Ryxen 7 5700X | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 | Played perfectly @4k, didn't notice any issues with bloom. Appears to be natively 16:9 so no difference with widescreen hack. Could not find a 60fps patch, runs at 30fps making aiming pretty difficult, but standard for Wii titles! | Trace6x |
