The Shooting Gallery is a mini-game found in many The Legend of Zelda games. It made its debut in A Link to the Past, and has since become more noticeable when the series jumped to 3D.


Appearances

A Link to the Past

"The ghostly proprietor of the Shooting Gallery offered visitors five shots at moving targets for 20 Rupees. If these visitors were sharpshooters, they could earn their Rupees back, and more. The prize started at four Rupees and doubled with each consecutive hit. If all five shots were good, the shooter would take in total winnings of 124 Rupees. "

"Sharpshooters Only
While the row of Shooting Gallery targets moved in one direction, hand-shaped obstacles in front of them moved in the other direction. Sharpshooters would wait until there was a long gap between the hands, then take aim and fire.
"

— Nintendo Power Player's Guide

The Shooting Gallery in A Link to the Past is found in the Village of Outcasts. Link has five shots to shoot with. The more he hits the targets, the more he Rupees he gets.
