'''''BS Zelda No Densetsu: Inishie No Sekiban''''', which translates into 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, reflecting the fact that the game was available only through a combination of a download via satellite transmission to storage media and live, unstored sound. Rather than [[Link]], the protagonist could be chosen from the male and female Satellaview mascots, dubbed the "[[Hero of Light]]" in-game. | |||
Broadcast only three times - in March/April 1997, June 1997 and November/December 1998{{ref|name=broadcastdates}} - the downloaded game data was later rediscovered and [https://bszelda.zeldalegends.net/bszelda.shtml made playable by volunteers], including English translations. | |||

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 Satellaview games, it was designed to be played only "live" in a one hour weekly time slot for 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]]. | 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.

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. | Utilising the fact that the player could only play within a limited time, real-time events and sidequests were incorporated into the game directly.
