Link's Crossbow Training will be included with the new peripheral when it goes on sale November 19 in the US, for USD 19.99 (EUR 14.4).

The Wii Zapper houses the Wii Remote and Nunchuck, turning the innovative control system into a light-gun style peripheral.

"The Wii Zapper combines our remarkable controllers into one housing with a classic style reminiscent of arcade-style games," commented George Harrison, senior VP of marketing for Nintendo.

"Both veteran and first-time players will find it brings a whole new dimension to games where targeting is key and provides even more exciting gameplay experiences."

As well as the dedicated Zelda title from Nintendo, third-party publishers have already pledged support for the Wii Zapper.

EA's Medal of Honor Heroes 2, Sega's Ghost Squad and Capcom's Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles will all feature Zapper functionality.

Why not ?

well the maker/director said that Twilight Princess was going to be the last Zelda game of it's kind. So he must be doing something super differen't with this game. And the Wii Zapper Is interesting to say the least.

It does seem a tad unnecessary. I guess I can see how it works, but I have large hands as mentioned in the article as being a problem so...Yeah.

Yea I wouldn't expect it to be anything like Zelda. It's just a crossbow game as far as I can tell.

Me too, that thing does look a little small

It looks tiny and unsure how comfortable or practical it would be as it also looks VERY light.
