It isn't the only game to get such a bundle, yet outsold all the others combined several times over. Not even close to being the first peripheral designed like that either, if people wanted one they likely owned one already.  Obviously just the fact that it is Zelda and Nintendo that sold it.

It was the first one from Nintendo and the first that was actually advertised. At $20, for accessory and bundled software, it was a deal. It would have done just as well if it were packaged with any other shooting mini-game. Mario's Crossbow Training, Duck Hunt, etc. would have all pushed millions bundled with the Zapper.

Well that is my point...

The argument was framed that Link's Crossbow Training sold 5 million because it had Zelda attached to it. I was arguing that it wasn't the case. So, we agree from two different angles.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
