Archery Game

The archery game has appeared in many Zelda games since its first appearance in A Link to the Past.

Link to the Past
The game is found in side small a shop south of Kakariko Village and involves shooting small octopus style targets as they move from left to right. While at the same time, targets shaped like hands move in the opposite direction in an attempt to stop the arrows hitting the main target.

Ocarina of Time
The Ocarina of Time version is found in Kakariko Village as well as Castle Town, but the target or Octorok jump up and down. As Young Link all twenty of the targets must be hit, to be rewarded with a bigger Deku Seed Bag, or a Purple Rupee.

As adult Link, breaking all twenty of the targets, is rewarded with a bigger Quiver, or a Purple Rupee.

Majora’s Mask
There are two archery games in Majora’s Mask. One is found in East Clock Town under the title of Clock Town Shooting Gallery. In this game, red and blue Octoroks jump out of the water. The red ones must be shot for one point each; the blue ones, however, must be avoided, as a hit will cause the amount of time remaining to lower. While beating the high score of 39 red Octoroks is a worthy acheivement (as it gives the player a larger Quiver), the true goal of the game is to attain a perfect score of 50 red Octoroks; the prize for which is a Piece of Heart.

The second game is found in the path to the Southern Swamp, called the Swamp Shooting Gallery. Slightly more difficult than the Clock Town Shooting Gallery, the Swamp Shooting Gallery involves shooting Guays and Wolfos, all of which are constantly moving in various formations. When a perfect score is acheived, a Piece of Heart is gained.

Four Swords Adventures
In Village of the Blue Maiden level on the section west of the cetral part there is an Archery Game where you have to shoot Octoroks.
