''BS The Legend of Zelda'' is different from most other ''Zelda'' games as the game's central heroes are actually supposed to be the [[Mascot|mascot characters]] of the BS-X Broadcasting System, and are otherwise supposed to be based on the player as the character's name and gender is based on the broadcasting ID, which is also true for ''[[BS The Legend of Zelda: Ancient Stone Tablets]]''. Both the male and female characters wear a green tunic, though others are later available, and a backwards baseball cap; the female character has long red hair, but is otherwise almost exactly the same as the male.  

The [[Overworld]]'s size, for convenience due to the Time System, has been cut in half vertically, making it square. The [[Dungeon]]s and Overworld all look different, but the general landmarks remain the same. The game also included much higher quality graphics, nicer music, and the ability to choose your gender.

The biggest difference, however, is the time system. Due to the broadcasting nature of this game, the game had to be played in one sitting, and was only available for one hour every week. This meant that, if players had "tuned in" starting in the second week, they needed to catch up very quickly.

At the beginning of the game, the character automatically walks into a cave, where the old man gives him or her a 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 the eight dungeons and obtain the eight pieces of the [[Triforce]]. Two of the pieces are available in each week.

The chance to fight Ganon was only accessible for the last 15 minutes of gameplay, and it took the place of the cave where the Wooden Sword was obtained. The character used the [[Triforce]] in the second screen to open the door to Ganon's chamber. When he was defeated, the character could then talk to Zelda and leave the cave.

 

The first six dungeons in Map 1 are in the shape of a letter; when put together, it spells out "St. GIGA". The other two dungeons are shaped like a a skull and down arrow.

Each of the dungeons in Map 2 are in the shapes of letters, which together spell out "NiNtENDO" (Nintendo).
