    Default BS Zelda?

    Is there any way to obtain a legit copy of this game? I want to play the one were it is Zelda 1 remade with the Link To The Past graphics, and remixed areas. I think the main character was different also.

    Do you mean other than emulation?

    The BS Zelda was part of the Super Famicom BSX Satellaview accessory. You downloaded episodes and played them. BS Zelda had 4 parts. It didn't have Link in it and you are timed.

    Here's a Wiki article.

    Satellaview stuff is pretty rare/expensive, you have to piece everything together, and I'm not even sure if you can download it to a blank memory cart, or even find a BSX memory cart that has the Zelda on it. And I'm not sure if it works on American or even Euro Systems, it may only work on the SFC.

    It might be possible to get shadowkn55 to put it on a cart for you but you'd have to talk to him.

    From time to time those BSX carts (with zelda) do show up on ebay.. But i'm not sure if there the full versions?

    (alittle off topic)
    Also those white super famicom carts, that can carry up to 6 games, i don't think you can burn games to them, only the system/machine that was in japanese videogame stores, was able to do that. you simply bought a super famicom memory cart and plugged in the cart, and chose the game or games you wanted. and it tranfered them to the memory cart.

    It's a shame they didn't introduce that service, and the satellaview service to both the UK and the US market. I'm not sure if it would have been successful?, thus the reason it never happened, but it still would have been fun!

    This is a really good article on the BS Zeldas:

    Ooh. Previously that one was available to subscribers only.

    Does that mean that IGN's vids of the CD-i Zeldas are back up? (Not that it matters much, since they're all on YouTube these days.)

    Well, at least we got the Sega Channel for a little while.

    I think the SNES service would have been successful with exclusive games like that..

    So I take it that when the battery in the BS carts die, you lose the game on it?

    Damn, i thought there was only 1 of these BS Zelda games. I only knew about "BS The Legend of Zelda: Kodai no Sekiban", not the Zelda 1 remake. The remake looks great!

    I'd like to play the BS Zelda games, but the idea of a live narration going on while you're playing sounds a little distracting, and annoying!

    Isn't it possible to reproduce BS Zelda onto an American cartridge, and play on an American console? Of course, it wouldn't be "legit", but at least that way you'd be able to play it on a console.

    If that where able to be done that would be cool!, and when people moan about how it's not legit, WHO cares, the actual game never made it to the US or UK regions, so if it were to be done, thru a home brew, or if some was able to have it on a US cart, surely thats a good thing? To the people that would have an interest in it. (snes/video game collectors etc)

    As it says in the Wiki article, there are patches available that translate everything and remove the more exotic features.

    As far as I know, the game only works with Zsnes. I tried loading it onto my GD7 but no go. Burning it onto a repro cart will probably yield the same result. I've never tried it but if someone is willing to gamble...

    I know Radical Dreamers works for sure. The save feature works also.

    Just wanted to add I was mistaken, while the BS Zelda remake of the original Zelda is translated and fully playable the other Link to the Past episodes are not (and I use the plural for episodes because apparently there are two of them).

    I found another great site on the games, and provides everything you need to play BS Zelda, including translation, optional patches to change around the main hero, and the all important "time crack".

    Should note this was linked to in the wiki article referenced above but you may have missed the link... like I did.

    The thing about Zelda BS are the timed events, from what I remember you can't advance any further if you miss one of them. It's probably been "fixed" since the last time I played it, which was quite awhile go.
