News and Updates
Happy Easter, Zelda fans! Unfortunately I can't give you any chocolate through the Internet, but I can give you Zelda goodness!
We all know the main Zelda titles, but were you aware that in the 90's, Nintendo produced a satellite modem add-on for the Super Famicom, the Japanese Super Nintendo? The system allowed games, among other things, to be broadcast via satellite, and three Zelda titles were released for the Satellaview: BS The Legend of Zelda, BS The Legend of Zelda: Ancient Stone Tablets, and BS The Legend of Zelda: Triforce of the Gods. The BS prefix in the titles stands for "Broadcast Satellite". These games were released only in Japan, and could be played only while the games were being broadcast. Each game was released in four parts over four weeks, and players only had an hour to complete each part. Once the games were no longer broadcast, they could never be played again.
But due to the wonders of technology and the Internet, the games are being collected, patched and translated into English. I've created the BS Zelda page, which has information about these three titles, including screenshots and even a walkthrough for BS The Legend of Zelda.
A very big thank you to Neo for helping me compose this content, including providing the screenshots and writing the walkthrough. Neo is a friend I met through Zelda Wiki, and also works for my affiliate site The Hidden Triforce.

| | Posted by: aurora | 04-05-2010 08:13 [Email,Website] | basically the same thing as the first LoZ but pretty cool. | | Posted by: Alessandra | 04-04-2010 22:44 [Email,Website] | I knew about these games but I didn't know they had to be played at a certain time. I played this on my SNES9x v1.5.1 emulator (the newest build of SNES9x is 1.52) and it works beautifully. I guess the point of the timer was to see how good you really are in these games or something, it was really interesting! :) | | Posted by: henry | 04-04-2010 18:09 [Email,Website] | it dosent work!!!! x( | | Posted by: | 04-04-2010 17:59 [Email,Website] | What were the point of these games when they were released to play at those times? | | Posted by: | 04-04-2010 17:57 [Email,Website] | Weird | | Posted by: A-dub | 04-04-2010 07:20 [Email,Website] | Wow. That's pretty interesting..... I knew about the games, but I had not thought about the fact that they couldn't ever be played again.......... I wish I was born 11 years earlier. |
