First released in [[2007]], ''Link's Crossbow Training'' has since come to sell approximately 4.8 million copies as of May 2010.


==Game Modes==
==Game Modes==
===Target Shooting===
''Link's Crossbow Training'' features three Game Modes. They include Score Attack, Multiplayer, and Practice.
The goal in Target Shooting is to shoot down targets for a high score. In this mode, every stage is split into three twenty second segments. [[Link]] is offscreen while each segment goes on. Link shoots targets, with the red target being worth 30 points if shot in the bull's-eye whereas the gold targets are worth 150 points if shot in the bull's-eye. Also, there are scarecrows that can be shot multiple times for a 1000 point increase; if this tactic is used in the first two segments of a stage, Link will be transferred to another side of the stage with multiple gold targets to shoot down, allowing for a massive boost in the high score.
===Defender===
The goal of Defender is to shoot down enemies for a high score. In this mode, Link is stationary (onscreen.
===Ranger===


In Ranger Mode players have free control and may move across the environment by using the nunchuk attachment's analog stick. The goal is to find 25 of a certain enemy (from Bulblins to Skulltula) by moving around the given stage. Many other objects can be shot in the process including windows.
===Score Attack===
In Score Attack mode, players play through nine levels, each of which feature their own three Stages. After completing a Level, players are given a medal based on the amount of points they accumulated. 20,000 points yields a Bronze medal, 40,000 points gives a Silver medal, 60,000 points gives a Gold medal, and 80,000 points yields a Platinum medal, the highest medal available.


===Stages===
===Multiplayer===
In Multiplayer mode, 2-4 players can take turns using the Wii Zapper to complete stages from the Score Attack mode. The stages played are selected by the players, but only the stages that have been previously unlocked in Score Attack mode can be chosen. Whichever player finishes the selected stage with the most points is deemed the winner, and is given a Star. This can be continued for as long as it is desired by players. However, statistics are not kept over, so quitting a multiplayer game loses that progress forever.


Stage 1
===Practice===
In Practice mode, a single player can play any of the modes they have previously unlocked in Score Attack mode. There is no reward system in this mode; it is purely for practice.


Ordon Target Practice
==Levels==
This stage is set in [[Ordon Village]]. It transitions between three sections, the last of which is variable, depending on whether Link has shot the two scarecrows in the first two sections.
There are nine total Levels in ''Link's Crossbow Training'', and each is composed of three different stages. Each level's stages are listed below.
Gerudo Stalfos: Defender
This stage is set in [[Gerudo Mesa]] and sees Link battling several [[Stalfos]].
Arbiter's Grounds: Ranger
