Zelda games on Wii
Twilight Princess on Wii reached North America on 19 November 2006 and mirrors the GameCube map. Skyward Sword’s first date in this set is 18 November 2011 in Europe. Crossbow Training is the Zapper pack-in.

The Wii Shop’s closure in 2019 ended new digital buys. Skyward Sword HD, 16 July 2021 on Switch, is the living edition, and its reported sales sit beside the Wii original instead of replacing them. Twilight Princess HD is a Wii U disc. I am not announcing a Switch port. Crossbow Training stays in the spin-off pile: a rail shooter, not one of the 21.
