BS The Legend of Zelda (BSゼルダの伝説 BS Zelda no Densetsu) is a remake of the original Legend of Zelda game for the NES platform, except it was offered on the BS-X Broadcasting System, an add-on to the popular SNES system. The gameplay was similar to the original, but there are many key differences.
Major Differences
The Overworld's size, for convenience due to the Time System, has been cut in half vertically, making it square. The Dungeons 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, something which exclusive to both BS The Legend of Zelda and BS Zelda: Inishie no Sekiban. Both character gender choices, however, lead to two characters only known as Mascot (Male) and Mascot (Female).
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.
Gameplay
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 the First and Second Quests, 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.

Trivia
- Each of the eight dungeons in the first BS Zelda quest are in the shape of a letter. When put together, it spells out "St. GIGA".
- To continue the trend, each of the dungeons in Second Quest are in the shapes of letters, which spell out "NiNtENDO" (Nintendo).
