'''''BS The Legend of Zelda''''' is a remake of the original {{TLoZ}}, which was released on the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]], available only via the [[Satellaview]] add-on for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]]. The gameplay is similar to the original, but there are several key differences.

The gameplay is similar to the original, but there are several key differences.


''BS The Legend of Zelda'' is different from most other {{TLoZ|Series|-}} games. The game's central heroes are the [[Player|avatar characters]] of the BS-X, which are based on the info given during account creation, which is also true for the {{AST}}. Both the male and female characters wear a [[Green Clothes|green tunic]], though others are later available. The male character wears a backwards baseball cap whereas the female character has long red hair, but is otherwise exactly the same as the male character.

The male avatar wears a backwards baseball cap whereas the female avatar has long red hair.  


''BS The Legend of Zelda'' was also the first Satellaview game to use the SoundLink system, where data was streamed simultaneously during broadcast including an orchestrated soundtrack and a voiceover track.

At the beginning of the game, the character automatically walks into a cave, where the [[Old Man]] gives him or her the [[Wooden Sword]]. The dungeons are all in the same place in both Map 1 and 2, but the Overworld and dungeon interiors are completely redone between versions. The dungeons also spell out different phrases. The character must complete all eight dungeons and obtain the eight pieces of the [[Triforce]]. Two of the pieces are available in each week.

During gameplay, the old man would continue to communicate with the player about new events, sometimes pausing gameplay during dialogue sequences. These events were varied but can be sorted in a few general types. There were time-limited upgrades or advantages, which included upgrading inventory items, enabling infinite use of said items, increasing certain enemy drops, and even discount sales on all merchant items. Additionally, the old man would sometimes use one of three support spells, which would summon a fairy for healing, freeze all enemies on screen, or destroy all enemies, respectively. The final category covers changes to the gameplay environment, which can include obstacles vanishing, enemies being strengthened or weakened, fairy springs losing their power, and even a limited time pickups (most notably, the [[Red Ring]] and [[Magical Sword]] were only available for a short period during week 4).
