Talk:Link's Crossbow Training

Yo. If anyone's thinking about fixing up the level listing, don't worry. I'm working on tidying it up and adding a bit of new info, so hang tight. 75.145.51.237 15:52, 7 January 2008 (EST)

Stage vs. Level (and others!)
So... the game refers to the various levels as "stages", so I changed all the instances of "level" in the article to "stage". Also, shouldn't stage 9 be referred to as stage Final, considering that's what it's called in-game? I'll go with that in my stage-listing rewrite (which is almost done!).

Bonus Locations
I'm not entirely convinced that the locations for every orange rupee, scarecrow, etc. is within the realm of the Wiki. If anyone can convince me that it is, I'll reformat it into a neater table. If not, it should be gotten rid of. Thoughts? --Ando 14:08, 1 February 2008 (EST)


 * Agreed. I've moved the section in it's entirety to StrategyWiki, where it seems far more appropriate, and can be worked on and completed without bulking up this article. (Plus, I've added a link at SW back to our article, since theirs is basically empty :) --Adam (talk) 06:58, 3 February 2008 (EST)
 * Thanks for the info! I converted the info to a table so it's a bit easier to digest.  Also "upgraded" the interwiki link to a full box (we are partner wikis ^_^). -- Prod 17:03, 10 February 2008 (EST)

Excellent. Nice work. ;) --Ando 17:11, 10 February 2008 (EST)

American -> European version differences
Zelda Wiki.org writes based off of the American versions (hence the solely American English spelling throughout the site), and there are discrepancies, apparently, between the American and European versions of Link's Crossbow Training. Well, at least one, anyway. If any more are found, they are to be listed here. This list is to be used for reference if ever another European user makes a (good-faith; I'm not getting on to you or anything) region-based edit that doesn't flow with the American version. 15:13, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) Stage 5-3 is "The Shootout" in the American version (reference), but "Kakariko Shootout" in the European.

Timeline Placement
First of all, I'd jsut like to state that I know the game has no plot whatsoever. I'm just throwing theories around based on observation and logic.

I'm putting forth the theory that this game does not take place during or after Twilight Princess, but before it. Long, long before it. There are a couple of reasons I think this.


 * Stalord is different. He does not have a sword embedded in his skull, nor does he appear to have had a sword there. He also has more horns, and is active on his own, as far as we know. Also, in the Arbiters grounds, I recall seeing pictures on the walls of a Link-ish looking person fighting the Stalord, suggesting a prior battle with a different Link.


 * The Kakariko Shootout takes place in the Hidden Village, only it is clearly called Kakariko Village, though so is TP's Kakariko, so this argument isn't as strong.


 * Places from TP are still intact that were not intact by the end of TP, such as the Great Bridge.


 * The Stronger Darknut in the Temple of Time. Things generally get weaker after they've been beaten before...

There's a couple other, minor things, but all more or less along the same reasoning.

So basically, to sum up, I believe this is a prior Link, a good deal of time before TP, possibly an Adult OoT Link cleaning up after Ganondorf's exile.

Again, just some speculative theorizing.

It's called "Kakariko Shootout" because apparently the sign in the Hidden Village translates into "Old Kakariko", implying that it is the Kakariko of OoT. 19:59, 20 August 2008 (EST)
