i just beat bs Zelda third quest today. now I'm working on the ancient stone tablets. what great games. Nintendo should really put these on the wii shop channel. I can't believe there is a complete 16 bit version of the original Zelda and hardly anyone knows about it.
-
I can't get it to work in my Snes9XGX for Wii. Doesn't the ROM have to be hacked because of some bullshit timer the game has? It's very annoying to play. I'd rather play B.S. F-Zero 2.
-
I had no idea there was a way to play those still. Please fill us in!

There are complete working patches for BS Zelda the second quest and 2 hacks called third quest and fourth quest.
The stone tablet game is another bs game based on Zelda 3 that is a pseudo sequel.
-
Never even heard of this before. Would love to play it. I've never been able to get into the NES Zelda games, and to be perfectly honest, an updated 16-bit version would entice me to play much more.
-
I remember these, wasn't most of what was in these Zelda game's became Zelda 3?
-
yeah kinda. They look like LttP but they came out on that satellite only japanese SNES addon. You can get em all for emu some more hacked to work than others. Most of em replace the girl and boy sprites with LttP Link.
The Zelda 1 version is prolly the best version of Zelda 1 you can get

Why play B.S. Zelda when you can play Zelda Classic (http://www.zeldaclassic.com/)?
-
Yeah the Zelda Classic replicates the BS Zelda really well. That and you can make your own Zelda-type game if your so inclined. I never actually got around to try and make my own game however there are tons of homemade resources and several of the fan-made games I've played are really well done. Some of them I couldn't play through cause I got stumped... You know it's a well thought out game when you get stuck :'(
-
FYI you can order a physical copy of the game from this website (it'll cost $52.00 on the wallet): http://www.gamereproductions.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=90 (http://www.gamereproductions.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=90)

I played mine on my psp snes emulator. I never heard about these games either until about a month ago I saw an episode of 16 bit gems on youtube about it. here's the link if you haven't seen it. 16-Bit Gems #20: BS Zelda (& Satellaview Retrospective) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDVxSm-_iM4#ws)

Actually, no. Ancient Stone Tablets is a pseudo-sequel that was broadcast several years after Zelda 3 came out.
They released complete translation patches for all 4 parts not too long ago on ROMHacking.net.

I just watched that Retrospective and it was pretty cool. I also downloaed the BS editions and have been playing them on the big "E." The upgrade to nes Zelda is pretty solid! Haven't played through the Ancient Stone Tablets yet, I already got the Translation patch for it and everything. One game at a time...lol

Nice I'm glad you liked that video. That guys pretty good. He's introduced me to quite a few good games that I wasn't aware of. I'm almost done with ancient stone tablets. I just started chapter 3. Its so good. It's like an actual direct sequel to a link to the past. I don't know why nintendo doesn't release these games on their virtual console. these games would sell like crazy.

Sorry to hijack the thread but I thought this recent article might be useful for you guys.
The best zeldaclassic quests according to one very enthusiastic person:

Also, Hi, new user here :P
The first time I've heard of b.s. Zelda was in Retro Gamer (best mag ever), in a feature about the SNES if I recall correctly.
-
wow, those classic Zelda games look pretty sweet. r they only playable on the pc or will they play on snes emulators too?
-
What does B.S. stand for guys/gals? From what I've read they sound like upgraded versions of these games. Zelda...Ahhh... I own all the hard hitter classics but always have so much trouble getting into them. I wanna love me, but they don't suck me in. I've beat Legend of Zelda, got far into Link to the Past, at the end of Twilight Princess, haven't even touched my Wind Waker. Shit I just am not a Zelda dude I guess. Though I will say, these B.S. (bullshit?) versions look really cool. Oh, and I know a ton of fold think Ocarina is one of the best games ever, but I decided I will prob never play it and am totally fine with that. GRAHGH! Honestly I've enjoyed TPrincess the most of any of them. For semi-RPG adventure type games I def have more favorable options though. Dark Souls being my favorite, and can't wait for Darksiders 2.

They're PC only BUT I think that they're gearing up to release a new, big version update which might mean compatibility with OS X, Linux, android, etc. We'll just have to wait and see.

If you've beaten LoZ, got far in LttP and the end of TP, then you're quite the Zelda person, at least compared to me.
Frankly, I think Zelda for me is like Lord of the Rings, I like being a fan of it but I haven't played/read much of it. :P
Wait! NOW I remember properly, the first time that I've heard about this was because of Radical Dreamers, the pseudo Chrono TRigger sequel/pseudo Chrono Cross prequel/mindscrew. I'm a BIG fan of Chrono Trigger and since Radical Dreamers also appeared on Sattelaview (that's the name of the snes service, right?) this also caught my eye.
-

Broadcast Satelliview.
Watch the retrospective. He answers pretty much everything you'd want to know about the games.
-
broadcast satellite? an why is that :P ?
-
The game itself is Broadcast through satellite, to the Famicom over a series of time slots. This was before the internet so it was the only real way it could be done. The time slots allowed you to know how much time you had before the satellite was out of receiver range. It's fully explained on the video link in this thread.
-
well I finally beat the b.s Zelda ancient stone tablets the other day. which is the link to the past sequel. great game, obviously not as good as link to the past, but definitely worth a play for any Zelda fan. I really would love to see Nintendo have the foresite to release these games on the virtual console so more Zelda fans could play them.
-
I agree, there are a few gems that they could have spruced up and re-released as a series of wiiware titles.
