The '''Crossbow''' is [[Link]]'s weapon in {{LCT}}.
 
 
==Uses==
 
The Crossbow is a long-range weapon capable of taking out targets from a distance and functions much like a regular [[Bow]]. It has unlimited [[Arrow]]s.<ref>{{Cite manual|quote= You have an unlimited number of arrows.|game= LCT|page= 7}}</ref> Throughout stages, temporary upgrades can be obtained. The '''Exploding Crossbow''' fires [[Bomb Arrow]]s.<ref>{{Cite manual|quote= Exploding Crossbow Press and hold B until cross hairs flash, and then release B to fire an exploding arrow.|game= LCT|page= 7}}</ref> Bomb Arrows do more damage, but limit the succession of shots by requiring a charge up time between them.<ref>{{Cite manual|quote= It has more power and does more damage, but it takes a little while to charge up, so you can't fire it as frequently.|game= LCT|page= 7}}</ref> The '''Automatic Crossbow''' allows firing many shots in rapid succession.<ref>{{Cite manual|quote= If you defeat an enemy that's flashing green, your weapon will turn into a rapid-fire crossbow, able to fire many shots in rapid succession.|game= LCT|page= 7}}</ref> This enhancement is obtained by defeating enemies flashing green. Once all '''Automatic Arrows''' are exhausted, the Crossbow reverts back to normal Arrows.<ref>{{Cite manual|quote= Once you run out of automatic arrows, your crossbow will revert to normal.|game= LCT|page= 7}}</ref>

===Animated Series===
 
[[File:Crossbow (The White Knight).png|thumb|right|200px|A Crossbow in the animated series]]
 
In the [[The Legend of Zelda (TV series)|animated series]], Crossbows appear in three episodes, wielded by a different character each time. They fire beam-like Arrows instead of the usual Arrows. In "[[The White Knight]]", a defeated [[Tinsuit]] leaves behind a Crossbow, which Link gives to [[Princess Zelda]] so that she may help him fight off the rest of the Tinsuits. Although the princess is successful in defeating several of the monsters, the Crossbow runs out of ammo and leaves Link helpless. However, soon after, [[Prince Facade]] arrives and uses his Crossbow to defeat the remaining foes.
 
 
Princess Zelda is seen once again wielding a Crossbow in "[[Fairies in the Spring]]," in which she uses it to defeat an [[eel]] that was electrocuting Link. In "[[The Moblins are Revolting]]," two [[Moblin]]s use Crossbows as they try to defeat Link; however, they eventually end up defeating themselves and their [[Goriya]] companions with it.
 
 
===''A Link to the Past'' Comic===
 
In the [[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (Comic)|''A Link to the Past'' comic]], [[Roam]] uses a Crossbow as one of his weapons, although he is never seen using it in battle. Roam's Crossbow is first seen in chapter 8, where he shows it off to Link and claims he is looking for the [[Silver Arrow]] to defeat [[Ganon]] with it. After Roam dies saving Princess Zelda from a specter of [[Agahnim]] in [[Ganon's Tower]], Zelda picks up Roam's Crossbow and aims it at Ganon. She then begins to ask for the aid of the maidens and fires an ordinary Arrow from the Crossbow. As it approaches Ganon, the power of the maidens, Zelda, Link, and Roam, turn the Arrow into the Silver Arrow,<ref>{{Cite book|quote= It was the '''enchanted arrow'''...|book= A Link to the Past|publisher= Nintendo Power|page= 6}}</ref> destroying the King of Thieves.
 
 
===''Hyrule Warriors'' Series===

}}
 
In {{HW}} and {{HWL}}, [[Linkle]] wields dual Crossbows as her weapon of choice. It is associated with [[Element (Hyrule Warriors)|Fire]]. Her Crossbows glow green when firing shots in rapid succession and red when firing Bomb Arrows.
 
 
====Variations====
 
The default crossbow is the '''Simple Crossbow'''. The second form of the Crossbow is the '''Hylian Crossbow''', followed by the '''Legend's Crossbow'''.

=====Special Attack=====
 
{{Main|Special Attack}}
 
 
[[Linkle]] shoots once with her two Crossbows pointing forward, then once with one pointing forward and the other back, and then turning around to fire both of them forward again. She then performs two spins while firing both Crossbows rapidly, and ending the attack in a huge, fiery explosion. This attack hits enemies in a mid range around Linkle.

==Trivia==
 
*Linkle's Hylian Crossbows take the appearance of the Crossbow used in ''Link's Crossbow Training''.
