''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]]. | This is not a full Zelda game, but a Zelda-themed minigame.

Various motion sensors in the GamePad, | 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. | To fire an arrow, the player pulls down on the right analog stick and releases.

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. | ||
