'''''The Legend of Zelda: Battle Quest''''' is one of 12 "attractions" that make up ''Nintendo Land'', a release title for the [[Nintendo Wii U]], showcasing a variety of possibilities for asynchronous gameplay between the Wii U GamePad and Wii Remotes. ''Nintendo Land'' features minigames derived from 12 of Nintendo's top franchises, including [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|The Legend of Zelda]]. ''Battle Quest'' is a minigame that allows one player using a bow controlled by the Wii U GamePad to adventure alongside up to three sword-wielding players using Wii Remotes.

This is not a full Zelda game, but a Zelda-themed minigame. Instead of [[Link]], players control their Miis in outfits befitting Hyrulean adventurers. However, the game does feature several iconic items such as the [[Master Sword]], the [[Hero's Bow]], and the [[Triforce]].

''Battle Quest'' can be played with one to four players. The first player uses the GamePad to control an archer character who can pick off enemies at a distance or activate inaccessible switches, while the remaining players fight using swords controlled with Wii Remotes. All players move automatically along a linear, enemy-and-puzzle-infested path toward their destination.

In multiplayer mode, the game demonstrates the asynchronous gameplay made possible through the Wii U's unique GamePad. The player using the GamePad will have a different gameplay experience from the players using Wii Remotes. All players work together with pooled health to combat enemies and tackle obstacles. A colored rupee appears below each lost heart to indicate which player lost it.

===Archery===

Various motion sensors in the GamePad allow the archer player to look around the environment by moving the controller like a view finder. The left analog stick also controls the horizontal rotation of the camera. The GamePad screen displays how much health and how many arrows the player has left.

Various motion sensors in the GamePad, including a gyroscope, allow the archer player to look around the environment by moving the controller like a view finder. The left analog stick also controls the horizontal rotation of the camera. The GamePad screen displays how much health and how many arrows the player has left.


To fire an arrow, the player pulls down on the right analog stick and releases. Holding it down for a few seconds charges a powerful shot which deals extra damage and pierces through enemies. While charging a shot, the Mii will not move forward. This can be used strategically to pause progress and look around or carefully aim at unaware enemies from afar. Once the player runs out of arrows, he or she must lay the GamePad horizontal to refill the quiver.

===Swordplay===
===Swordsman===
Like ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'', the players' swords use Wii MotionPlus to enable direct control of the swords' movements. Pressing 'B' halts the player's movement and raises his or her shield. Several skills are available, including the [[Spin Attack]], and the [[Skyward Strike]], returning from ''Skyward Sword''.

Pressing 'B' halts Link's movement and raises his or her shield. Enemies are targeted automatically, but players can switch targets by pressing 'A'. If the sword is held aloft for a few seconds, it will build energy and enable the next attack to become a powerful [[Spin Attack]], which has a wide range and can break wooden shields.


==Game Modes==
==Game Modes==
Upon entering the ''Battle Quest'' attraction, players can choose between two modes: Quest mode for 1-4 players, or Time Attack mode for 1 player. On the Attraction Tour, players take turns completing a stage in Time Attack mode.
===Quest===
===Quest===
Quest mode is available for one to four players, one of which can be an archer. Solo players can choose to play as an archer or a swordsman. There are nine standard quests that players can challenge, defeating enemies along the way to discovering the [[Triforce]]. Players can achieve Master Rank on these stages by completing them without taking any damage. Players should try to master each stage as both an archer and a swordsman.

===Time Attack===
===Time Attack===
In Time Attack mode, one player races against the clock to defeat all of the enemies using the Hero's Bow. It can be played on three different stages. Rather than moving through the stage, the player says in place while waves of enemies approach. Each stage contains 25 enemies, and a stage is Mastered once it is completed within 40 seconds.
