Aonuma wanted to make Link’s Crossbow Training 2
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 9 Comments
“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. For example, I was thinking that maybe we could intensify the multiplayer mode. The original game was really just a solo game but I thought that we could add a true multiplayer mode with multiple users playing together, from remote areas, over the Wi-Fi Connection. 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.” – Eiji Aonuma
I don’t think that Link’s Crossbow Training is bad, but I’d take a full-fledged Zelda adventure over a sequel to the game any day. I do wonder, though, if Link’s Crossbow Training will be a reality someday. I’d be all for the inclusion of a Wi-Fi mode in a sequel.
