==Strategy== | |||
The best strategy is to grab the ball and then walk to the right side a bit. Angle the shot so it is heading straight for the center pin. When standing off-center to the right, the snowball will have a better chance of hitting the center pin. If you toss it from right in the middle, and aim straight ahead, the ball has a tendency to veer off to the right. | |||
Overall, the Snowball Bowling gaming becomes an incredibly easy way to make significant amount of rupees. A Strike will get Link a [[Gold Rupee]], with a Spare giving Link a [[Silver Rupee]]. With the cost of only 20 rupees to play, Link should easily be able to get a strike or spear every few bowls. | |||
