This re-release was dubbed BS Zelda ~MAP 2~.įour years later, A Link to the Past, returned to the top-down view (under a 3/4 perspective) and added the concept of an alternate dimension to explore, a land known as the Dark World. BS Zelda was re-released for the Satellaview a year later with re-arranged dungeons and a re-arranged overworld (more or less a 'Second Quest'). A modified version known as BS The Legend of Zelda was released for the Super Famicom's satellite-based expansion, Satellaview, in the mid-1990s in Japan. During the last years of the Famicom the game was re-released in cartridge format. The game was wildly popular in Japan and North America, and many consider it one of the most important video games ever made. Besides the game's technical innovations, the gameplay (finding items and using them to solve puzzles, battling monsters in real-time, and exploring a vast environment) was a successful formula and became widely copied.

The game also features a 'Second Quest', accessible upon completing the game, where dungeons and the placement of items are different and enemies stronger.

Innovations include the ability to use dozens of different items, a vast world full of secrets to explore, and the cartridge's ability to save progress via battery-backed memory.

Though simple by today's standards, it was actually advanced for its time. The first game, The Legend of Zelda, was first released in Japan in 1986, and in the United States and Europe in 1987.
