Summary

A write-up, going over the sequence of targets for the Shooting Gallery. As a Child, and as an Adult, Link can go here and play a game. As a Child, the game is in Castle Town. As an Adult, the game is in Kakariko Village. Paying 10 Rupees, he will have 15 shots to hit 10 targets. Hitting all 10 targets will grant Child Link the Bigger Deku Seed Bag, allowing him to carry up to 40 seeds. Adult Link pays 30 rupees and can win the Bigger Quiver (once he has the bow from the Forest Temple), that will allow him to carry up to 40 arrows.

Walkthrough

Getting started

The Shooting Gallery is found in the Northwestern corner of Hyrule Castle Town Square. The Shooting Gallery as an Adult is found in Kakariko Village.

Head inside and talk with the Shooting-Gallery Operator. He will offer a prize if Link can hit all 10 targets with the 15 shots he’ll offer.

Tips

• Be sure you’re very comfortable with the aiming style you’re using, be it gyroscopic or with the Thumbsticks
• For moving targets, lead the shot just a little
• Expect to play the game a few times to learn the pattern: It’s one thing to know what the targets do, it’s another to hit them.
• If you don’t get them all, just keep trying. Each game past the first is free until you leave the Shooting Gallery!
• Red targets are stationary, they only move in and out of position.
• Purple targets move.

Child Link - Basic

Link is armed with his slingshot and 15 Deku Seeds are provided (so you don’t expend your stock).

Target 1

Comes up in the center, from the brick chimney.

Target 2

Comes in on the lower track on the left-hand side. It stops, slowly spinning, just left of center.

Target 3

Coming in the lower track on the right-hand side. It stops, slowly spinning, just to the right of center.

Target 4

This purple targets comes up from the brick chimney in the middle. It’s on a stick, bringing it higher than the previous target.

Target 5 + 6

The first double, 2 red targets come in, 1 from the left-hand side, 1 from the right-hand side. Like the others, they will stop, slowly spinning, just off center on their respective sides.

Target 7 + 8

A pair of purple targets, close together. These will move from right to left on the rope line at the top of the gallery.

Target 9 + 10

A pair of purple targets together, a modest distance apart. These will move from left to right on the rope line at the top of the gallery.

Child Link – Expert

Unlike the Adult Expert Shooting Gallery, these targets will spawn in a fixed order. However, the timing is much tighter and the targets are more challenging to hit. Expect things to move faster overall.

Target 1

The expert version starts identical to the Basic, a Red Target comes up out of the center chimney.

Target 2

This Red Target comes in from the left-hand side, stopping just to the left of center.

Target 3

This Red Target comes in from the right-hand side, stopping just to the right of center.

Target 4

This Purple Target comes up from the center chimney. It will bob up to just below the lower rope before descending back down into the chimney.

Target 5 + 6

This Red Targets come in from the left-hand side and right-hand side. Both will stop and spin just off center of their respective side.

Target 7 + 8

This pair of Purple Targets will come in from the right-hand side and head over to the left. They are pretty close together and slowly spin.

Target 9 + 10

Thisair of Purple Targets will come in from the left-hand side and move over to the right. They slowly spin and are a short distance apart.

Adult Link

Armed with a bow instead of a Slingshot, this Shooting Gallery will be harder to complete. It’s found in Kakariko Village now.

• Link can play the mini-game in the Shooting Gallery before getting the Bow in the Forest Temple, but he’ll only get Rupees for each completion.
• When he completes the Shooting Gallery the first time, Expert Mode is unlocked, with even more challenging targets

Target 1

The first target is purple target that comes up on a pole out of the center chimney, stopping just below the lower rope in the back of the gallery.

Target 2 + 3

This is a pair of Purple targets that move along the lower rope in the back of the gallery. They slowly spin as they go from the left-hand side to the right-hand side.

Target 4 + 5

These Purple Targets come in from opposite sides, both swaying forward and back in opposition, one going from the left-hand side to the just left off center. The other target goes from the right-hand side to just off right of center. Expect if the target from the left is fully swung toward Link, the target from the right will be fully swung away from Link. They will both stop just off center, one to each side of the lower chimney.

Target 6

This Purple Target moves left to right. As it moves, it will swing in a pendulum motion.

Target 7

This Purple Target will rise up on its pole just left of center.

Target 8

This Purple Target will rise up on its pole just right of center.

Target 9

This Red Target will come up from the chimney in the center on a short pole. It slowly spins in its location.

Target 10

The final Purple Target will move right to left. It will swing in a pendulum motion as it goes across the Gallery.

Adult Link – Expert

This is the hardest version of the Shooting Gallery. The targets are randomized, so it’s more about giving advice than a specific walkway.

• Relax and have fun! This is a game. If it’s getting frustrating, either put the game down or just wander off somewhere else in Hyrule.
• Gyroscopic controls are your friend! Twitch reflexes can be faster and more precise than movement with the thumbsticks.
• Bring your aim back to the center of the gallery after each shot. It’s easier to aim anywhere else after that
• Shoot at the target the moment you can: Shoot, don’t think.
• Targets can either appear on a pole to rise up, or swing from the rope.
• Targets do have movement patterns, so pay attention to learn them.

Targets can only appear as pairs at most: there will never be more than 2 active targets at a time.
