[edit] Game Engine

I don't think we can really say that the game will be using Twilight Princess's engine yet. I mean, resembles Twilight Princess or has the same style as TP or whatever could mean a lot of things. Dude902 02:02, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

http://wii.ign.com/articles/826/826577p1.html At 9:34am it says it's running on the TP engine. Just found it today. Not really sure if that's official or just a guess from their impressions though. Dude902 21:35, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reads like a news report

And suggests text ripped from a news source ("as rumoured earlier today", etc). Indeed, a copy-paste of the passage into Google reveals a direct theft of text from http://www.gamepro.com/news.cfm?article_id=133688 – I recommend a rewrite or outright deletion of the paragraph.

Thanks for pointing that out. I've deleted it. Feel free to remove any obvious copyright violations you find. Pagrashtak 15:52, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] European Launch Date announced

Today, the European Launch date has been announced as Dec. 7th 2007.¹

[edit] Price?

how much will the awesomeness cost?

I bought the Wii Zapper at GameStop (with Link's Crossbow Training) for $24 before taxes. Jeff Silvers (talk) 04:58, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

I believe MSRP is $19.99, GameStop is charging $24.99 though as are some other retailers. Circuit City carries it for $19.99, FWIW. Coreycubed (talk) 16:15, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] About the crossbow use..

I havent played this game, but should somethin be mentioned that Link has never used a crossbow in any other game till now? Capgun2713 (talk) 04:16, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Wouldn't that ostensibly be the reason why he is now training with one...? If he'd used one before, he wouldn't really need it. Coreycubed (talk) 06:55, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, that is a good point. But it seems odd that out of nowhere he would begin using a crossbow. Unless there is some mention of it in the game, then that at least should be pointed out. Again, I havent played the game(havent been able to get my hands on a zapper this xmas) so this isnt something I'm aware of Capgun2713 (talk) 20:35, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, the Crossbow is designed to look like the Wii Zapper. DurinsBane87 (talk) 04:48, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Levels

Isn't there only 9 levels with 3 stages each. Making 27 stages. 9x3 = 27

You could just as easily say there are nine stages with 27 levels. Geoff B (talk) 20:39, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I know, but someone keeps changing it back!!!!!!!!!!!!!--AJ00200 (talk) 19:30, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
