When unveiled at E3 this year, the Wii Zapper was promised to be launching later this year with a game bundled in. Many thought a Wii Play esque game was on the cards (Duck Hunt remake anyone?) but it has been confirmed today by Nintendo that the bundled game will in fact be based on the Zelda franchise.

The game puts you through a series of tests to perfect your crossbow marksmanship. Nothing has been revealed about how long this game will be but based on the pack-in nature of the title don’t expect a fully fleshed out Zelda title. “The Wii Zapper combines our remarkable controllers into one housing with a classic style reminiscent of arcade-style games,” says Nintendo’s George Harrison, “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 game-play experiences.”.The Wii Zapper will go on sale in the US on November 19 for $20US. No Australian details have been announced at this stage.
