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.

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 Moblins use Crossbows as they try to defeat Link; however, they eventually end up defeating themselves and their Goriya companions with it.

She then begins to ask for the aid of the maidens and fires an ordinary Arrow from the Crossbow.
