'''BS Zelda No Densetsu: Inishie No Sekiban''', which translates into the English as '''BS The Legend of Zelda: Ancient Stone Tablets''', was a [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]] game created for the [[Satellaview]], a Japanese only attachment for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Famicom]]. The "BS" part stands for Broadcast Satellaview. | |||
==Gameplay=== | |||
The game was built on ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', and uses the same [[overworld]] but with different dungeons, resembling the later ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]'' in some respects. However, as with other Satallaview games, it was designed to be played only "live" in a one hour time slot weekly time slot across four weeks, outside of which the game was not available for play. During the live broadcast period, including approximately fifty minutes of actual playing time and cutscenes to open and close, sound was broadcast, including ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Sound & Drama]]'' tracks and voice acting for characters including [[Aginah]] and [[Zelda|Princess Zelda]]. | |||
Utilising the fact that the player could only play within a limited time, real-time events and sidequests were incorporated into the game directly. For instance, in Week 1 the weather changes several times - standard enemies are present when sunny, but for approximately seven minutes (~18:23-18:30) it rains, during which time all outdoor enemies are replaced by walking [[River Zora|Zora]] and [[bomb]]s do not explode in the rain. | |||
Content was partitioned per week - of the eight dungeons, only two were accessible per broadcast. Dungeons from previous weeks were blocked off by [[Thief (Character)|thieves]], who would give the player any missed items from that dungeon when talked to, including if they had missed a week entirely. | |||
==Story== | |||
The game takes place six years after ''A Link to the Past''. In this time, [[Link]] has left for [[Koholint Island|other shores]], and [[Hyrule]] has been at peace. However, [[Zelda|Princess Zelda]] begins to have prophetic dreams of a shadow threatening the land. When a mysterious figure falls from the sky near the | |||
and begins unfolding by diving deeper into the story of [[Aginah]], the junior brother of everyone's favorite tongue twister [[Sahasrahla (A Link to the Past)|Sahasrahla]]. He finds your character along with [[Zelda|Princess Zelda]] and as the "Hero of Light" you must traverse the land slaying monsters as well as collecting the [[Ancient Stone Tablets]] hence the game's namesake. | |||
