This game is defunct. Do note the game no longer works at all without modifications. This is most likely due to the game's servers being shut down. As a result, further official developments with the game are unlikely to happen.

BS Zelda no Densetsu was the first of the Satellaview's Soundlink games, and an episodic semi-remake of The Legend of Zelda. Both quests consisted of four parts.

Development Info

Speed Coding?

The current ROM dump of Map 1 Episode 3 has incompletely-coded and glitchy Episode 4 data, particularly on the Blue Manhandla and Blue Gohma bosses, suggesting that the details of Episode 4 were not finalized by the time Episode 3 was released even though they were broadcast only a week apart.

The current ROM dump of Map 2, which is an Episode 1 ROM, has a much more complete and polished Episode 4, including working bosses.

Unused SPC Music

The game was originally broadcast with streaming satellite radio, with very little SPC music used (and what was used was mostly played near the end). However, present in all ROM dumps is 16-bit versions of much of the original game's soundtrack. Many emulators and hacks re-enable this music to play at appropriate moments.
