The Legend of Zelda (Original) Virtual Console can't select item to use on b!

I bought The Legend of Zelda for Virtual Console and my problem is, that I can't select any item on the B button in the subscreen.

Of course I read the discription that says I should use the d-pad (I use the Wiimote) but it doesn't work.

I also tried a GameCube controller and it's the same effect. All other things works fine, but this doesn't work either.

Can anyone tell me how to select different items on B, please?

Solution 1:

As you're referring to your bow, you've probably just left the first dungeon, meaning you don't have any arrows. Without arrows, the bow is unequippable. Buy \ Find some arrows and you should be able to equip the bow to your B menu, alternatively, find another item you can equip (bombs, boomerang, etc).
