A Deeply Necessary Look at Link's Crossbow Training



Link’s Crossbow Training is one of the goofiest games ever featured in the historic Legend of Zelda series. Naturally, I then took it upon myself to try my best to dive into whatever I could manage to analyze about a game that you’ll be done with in 3 hours, tops. However you feel about it, this is the most I could manage to say about Link’s Crossbow Training!

  1. Genuinely though I just finished watching and this video is so well put together!! You did a great job it’s crazy how much actually went into this. The hidden village level is sooooo good I have to agree with you on it being the best
