Shooting Galleries,(OoTOcarina of Time)[1][2][3][name references needed] also known as Shooting Ranges,(PHPhantom Hourglass)[4] are recurring locations and Mini-Games in The Legend of Zelda series.[name references needed] The Shooting Gallery goes unnamed in A Link to the Past, The Wind Waker, and Four Swords Adventures.

Location and Rules

A Link to the Past

In A Link to the Past, the game is found inside a small shop south of the Village of Outcasts, and involves shooting small octopus-style targets as they move from right to left, while a row of hands blocking the targets moves left to right.

Link gets 5 arrows per game. Targets are worth 4 rupees, with the reward doubling for each target hit in a row, up to 64 rupees for the 5th hit (totaling 124 rupees). If the same target is hit with all 5 arrows, the 5th hit will give 99 rupees instead of 64.

Ocarina of Time

In Ocarina of Time, the Shooting Gallery is situated in the Market, but moves to Kakariko Village after Ganon's takeover. To win, Link must successfully shoot all ten Rupee-shaped targets in succession, some of which move, using fifteen shots. If Link hits at least eight targets, he will be given a free retry.

As a child, by using the Slingshot, the targets come up in a fixed order. The first time Link shoots every single one, he will receive a large Deku Seed Bag, and subsequent wins will grant 50 Rupees.

As an adult, by using the Bow, the prize is a larger Quiver, but the targets appear in a random order. Adult Link can play even before he gets the Fairy Bow from the Forest Temple, although he will only win 50 Rupees for completing it.

Majora's Mask

Main articles: Koume's Target Shooting, Swamp Shooting Gallery, Target Shooting and Town Shooting Gallery

In Majora's Mask, there are three archery games. 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, will cause the remaining amount of time to lower.[5] By beating the high score of 39, Link will receive a larger Quiver.[6] The true goal of the game is to attain a perfect score of 50 red Octoroks, which will be rewarded by a Piece of Heart.[7]

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 Deku Scrubs, Guays, and Wolfos, all of which are constantly moving in various formations.[8] When a perfect score is achieved, a larger Quiver is earned.[9] Achieving this once more results in a Piece of Heart, though Link must actually attain over 2200 points for the Piece of Heart, otherwise only a Red Rupee is earned.

The third Shooting Gallery is sponsored by Koume from the Swamp Tourist Center, after Link clears the Woodfall Temple. He must shoot Koume's hanging target at least 20 times to win a Piece of Heart (an Empty Bottle in Majora's Mask 3D),[10] while avoiding shooting Koume herself.[11][12] The mini-game is set during the boat ride across the Southern Swamp.

As part of their daily attractions, Honey and Darling's Shop includes a target-shooting game on the Final Day in East Clock Town. It can be played as Link or Deku Link using either the Bow or Magic Bubbles,[13] respectively. This Shooting Gallery is slightly different in that it is one part of a three-part game.

Oracle of Ages

Main article: Goron Shooting Gallery
Goron Gallery from Oracle of Ages

In Oracle of Ages, the Shooting Gallery appears in Lynna Village in the past. The game consists of hitting a ball with Link's Sword so it hits certain blocks which give points. The Fairy Blocks are worth 100 points, Blue Blocks are worth 30 points, Red Blocks are worth -10 points, or if Link misses or hits an Imp Block, it is -50 points. It is also the easiest and fastest way to earn Gasha Seeds or Magic Rings.

The Goron Shooting Gallery is located in the Rolling Ridge in the past. The game and rules are the same as in Lynna Village. If Link can manage to get 100 points after 10 rounds, he will will receive the Lava Juice. The Boomerang can also be obtained afterwards.

Four Swords Adventures

In Four Swords Adventures, the Shooting Gallery game is run by a Mage in the Village of the Blue Maiden. The Links have 10 Arrows to shoot Force Gems in order to gain them while at the same time targets shaped like Octoroks move from right to left in an attempt to stop the Arrows.

Phantom Hourglass

Molida Island Shooting Range from Phantom Hourglass

In Phantom Hourglass, after obtaining the Bow, Molida Island will house a Shooting Range run by Romanos, who is looking to fund his next big adventure.[14] The Mini-Game costs 20 Rupees to play, and gives Link unlimited Arrows to fire at wooden targets that slide across the top screen on any of five horizontal tracks. Destroying a target with a ghost on it is worth 10 points; each consecutive ghost target destroyed without missing a shot is worth an additional 10 points, up to a maximum of 50 points per target. Destroying a target with a little girl on it reduces Link's score by 50.[15]

The Mini-Game lasts for 70 seconds. For the first 25 seconds, a single ghost target (turned sideways to avoid Arrows) will appear on a track, then will stop and turn to face Link for up to two seconds before continuing along the track. Once a target is destroyed or moves out of view, the next will appear. When 45 seconds remain, the number of ghost targets that can appear on-screen increases to two. When 30 seconds remain, up to three targets, including ones with little girls can appear on-screen, and the targets will no longer stop in place when they turn to face Link. Finally, when 15 seconds remain, up to four targets can appear on-screen at a time.

Scoring at least 1,300 points, but less than the initial high score of 1,700 points, earns Link a Treasure as a prize, and a remark from Romanos that there's room for improvement.[16][17] The prize for scoring between 1,700 and 1,990 points for the first time is a Quiver upgrade, and for scoring at least 2,000 points for the first time, a Heart Container.[18][19] Every score thereafter of at least 1,700 points earns Link a Ship Part.

Spirit Tracks

Main articles: Goron Target Range and Pirate Hideout

Spirit Tracks features two shooting mini-games run by Gorons called the Goron Target Range and the Pirate Hideout. The former is situated near the Goron Village and the Pirate Hideout is found in the Ocean Realm. The Pirate Hideout is an archery mini-game in which Link rescues a Goron child captured by the pirate Miniblins in order to earn Treasures as well as a bigger Quiver and a Heart Container.

Trivia

Vaati's and Nightmare's likeness on a poster from Ocarina of Time
  • When Link shoots a target in Ocarina of Time, an equivalent Rupee marker appears on the floor. However, while the green and blue targets cause identically-colored Rupees to appear, shooting a red target will generate a purple Rupee.
  • In Ocarina of Time, the wanted posters on the wall bears resemblance to Vaati's Wrath and DethI.
  • The owner of the Lynna Village Shooting Gallery bears a resemblance to Luigi from the Super Mario series.
