About a year ago I wrote an article about the Satellaview system for the SNES which had an
optimized version of the old NES game Zelda.

This SNES Zelda Remix game was intended to be broadcast along with a show. As we've seen in the
emulation of the cart, there is a 57 minute time limit on the game (which seems to coincide
with an hour long show).



Also every 10 minutes or so, a Japanese message pops up, which can be loosely translated as
"Listen Closely" which seems to stop the game in order to draw the players attention back to
the show.



But the game is actually quite different from the original. Back then I had only seen a few
screenshots from the game, but now I've actually played it and therefore know a lot more.

The map itself is much smaller than the original, and as far as I can see it only has 4 castles
while the original has 9. The graphics are extremely well made, not optimized as much as the
Mario games, which in my oppinion is great.

The 4 castles in the BS-X version is different from the original, so it's kinda like a brand
new adventure. The first castle is still placed where it is in the original, same goes for the
3rd castle. But the 2nd and 4th castle are placed elsewhere.

I have not been able to find the ladder, so I cannot access the mountain part of the map. I
dont think that there even is a ladder, since I've been in all 4 castles. But the flute, raft,
both boomerangs, blue candle, meat, red ring and a few others are there. Weird though, you are
able to buy as many extra keys, for use in the castles, as you want.

Castles (Levels)

 1.
    Castle number 1 is placed exactly same place as in the
    old original version of the game, though the castle map
    is quite different.

    Treasure:  Bow (Just like the original)

    Boss:  Aquamentus (Just like the original)


 2.
    Castle number 2 is not placed where it is in the
    original. As far as I remember, in the original there's a
    hidden cave with an old guy offering a heartcontainer or
    the "Water of Life". You need a bomb to enter the second
    castle. 

    Treasure:  Wooden Boomerang (Just like the original)

    Boss:  Dodongo (Just like the original)


 3.
    Castle number 3 is placed same place as in the original.
    But to cross the bridge you need the blue candle (can be
    bought near the beginnig as usual) 

    Treasure:  (Magic Boomerang) &  (The Raft)

    Boss: Manhandla (Just like the original)


 4.
    Castle number 4 is plased a bit further to the left than
    the original, you need the Raft ftom Castle 3 to get
    there. 

    Treasure:  (The Flute)

    Boss: DigDogger


 5.
    To get to level 5, head to the top right where there is a
    place to launch your raft. Then go west, north, then
    east. You will see a gravestone surrounded by statues.
    Walk directly north from the top of the gravestone
    through the wall. 

    Treasure:  (The Ladder)

    Boss:  Patra


 6.
    To get to level 6, go towards the very bottom of the map.
    You should see sand with a gray platform suspiciously in
    the middle of the screen. After you kill the enemies,
    stand on the gray platform, blow the whistle and the
    entrance to level 6 will rise out of the sea. 

    Treasure: ? (Magic Wand probably)

    Boss: ?
