Zelda series director, Eiji Aonuma, has stated that he would like to produce a new addition to Link’s Crossbow Training but has instead been urged by his peers to continue to work on the next Zelda title for Wii.
“To tell you the truth, I actually wanted to create Link’s Crossbow Training 2. I thought that we should do something more and better in the field of the first person shooter, based on our experience of the first game”.
The “more” he wanted was an expanded multiplayer mode, but Nintendo would have none of it. “The fact of the matter is that a lot of people inside Nintendo insisted that I should work on a new Legend Of Zelda title rather than working on more Crossbow Training”.

…This better be a joke.
What idiot would ever take a goddamn railshooter over a video game epic. God, this is our one hope for a great Wii single player experience?
I’m glad someone was able to convince him not to do it
Would be good as a multiplayer mini game within the next full title but I wouldn’t pay for a second version of an overpriced minigame I already own as a standalone title.
this would be great as wiiware!
oh wow i never thought of that! that would be really cool!
Not a bad idea…but let The Legend of Zelda game come first, then make the Links Crossbow 2nd.
I think another Crossbow game would be perfect coupled with the new Zelda title ………… make it like a special edition and come with both
I agree, the new Legend of Zelda game should come first.
What Chris said.
Great post however I was wondering if you could write a litte more on this
subject? I’d be very thankful if you could elaborate a little bit more. Kudos!
