It is highly encouraged to play through the Main quest first though, to familiarize yourself with the difficulty and pacing of this game. It should be mentioned, that if you haven’t finished the Main game, you can’t access this second quest, unless you create a new file, and name it “ZELDA”. Check out the specific dungeon pages for detail maps inside the dungeons. There are dungeon images with specific layout of every item, movable block, breakable wall, hidden passage, and enemy. If you thought the locations of key items and dungeons were difficult to find in the Main (First) quest, you haven’t seen anything yet.

Give these gems a go for yourself and tell us what you think. There are not many Nintendo-made games in the Collection Chamber, so it comes as a surprise that an entry to one of their biggest franchises has been locked away. If you've ever played a Zelda game you'll know how excellent the gameplay is. You can still play this on many modern Nintendo platforms so it isn't included in the download, but it's well worth tracking down.Įach of these games plays a lot like the SNES version, except easier and shorter to accommodate the hour-long play style. In case you don't know, this one is a must-play - one of the greatest games to have ever existed and one that has so much written about it already. It was played directly from the data downloaded to the cartridge albeit in four weekly chunks. This would be the only BS Zelda game to have no timer or broadcast audio. The third game would simply be the entire SNES game, A Link to the Past, here called Triforce of the Gods (the original Japanese name of the game). Here the timer is completely removed and it gives you the option of which avatar you'd like to play as. For the easiest choice, you can choose the Quest Maps. The game will also continue once the time ends. This keeps everything the same as the Restoration maps but replaces your avatar with Link. If you'd prefer Link as your protagonist, use the Link Maps. If you'd prefer authenticity and difficulty, use the Restoration Maps. There were three different versions of both maps, each one included in the download.
They would also remove the timer, allowing players to fully explore the world for the first time. A voice actor would then read clues to their audience - something that has unfortunately been lost in the annals of Nintendo HQ.įans would later hack these two games to provide English translations as well as bringing the Link sprite back into the game. It would also pause the game with the word 'Listen' on the screen. Although extremely limited (read: Male or Female) compared to the modern Miis, the avatar would become the player in several streaming games, including the Zeldas.Īt specific times during your play-hour, your items would temporarily be upgraded or become unlimited allowing for greater ease if you were at a particularly tough spot.
The Broadcast Satellite allowed you to create an avatar of yourself. So different in fact, that fans have dubbed them the Third and Fourth Quests (the first two would've been the original game and its bonus Second Quest that was unlocked once completed). While there are familiar screens and dungeons, their layout is somewhat different.
This would be the only time Nintendo choose to improve the visuals for this game, choosing to emulate the NES game for future releases.
There were four Zelda games broadcast through this service, the first and second being remixed versions of the original game with updated graphics.
