Between August 6, 1995 and May 30, 1999 Nintendo in collaboration with St.GIGA broadcast three different ''The Legend of Zelda'' titles to fans for download via the Super Famicom's Satellaview subsystem. ''BS Zelda no Densetsu'', ''BS Zelda no Densetsu: MAP2'', and ''BS Zelda no Densetsu: Inishie no Sekiban'' all featured SoundLink narration which was the first time that Nintendo-sponsored ''Zelda'' titles made use of voice-actors to provide vocal tracks.〔The earlier CD-i titles were not sponsored by Nintendo and are considered by fans to lack canonicity.〕〔Uxio, P.R. ''(Historia de Zelda )''. DSWii.es. 14 June 2010.〕 As the first SoundLink Game released via Satellaview, ''BS Zelda no Densetsu'' in particular was identified by Nintendo as the world's first integrated radio-game. During this time, starting on March 2, 1997, a non-SoundLink port of ''Zelda no Densetsu: Kamigami no Triforce'' was also broadcast via Satellaview.〔''(BS The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past )''. IGN. Retrieved 9 July 2010.〕 Broadcasts of ''Kamigami no Triforce'' continued periodically throughout the tenure of Nintendo's partnership with St.GIGA (which ended on May 30, 1999) and then St.GIGA independently broadcast the game until May 29, 2000.〔''(セント・ギガ衛星データ放送 )''. stgiga.co.jp. 23 June 2000.〕 With the exception of ''Kamigami no Triforce'' all ''Zelda'' titles broadcast to the Satellaview were Satellaview-exclusive. Because the Satellaview was only released in Japan, these games were also all Japan-only releases. To date none of these titles have been released in any other form and due to the download limitations imposed on the broadcasts and the termination of support for the system these games are no longer available on the commercial market. Subsequent to the announcement at E3 2010 regarding the rerelease of ''BS Fire Emblem: Akaneia Senki'' (the first Satellaview-exclusive title to be re-released commercially) 10 years after the last Satellaview broadcast, there has been renewed speculation regarding the possibility of Nintendo's rerelease of the ''BS Zelda'' titles,〔''(Une surprise dans Fire Emblem : Monshou No Nazo )''. VideoJeux. 22 June 2010.〕〔McWhertor, Michael. ''(Nintendo, Let's Have Great Metroid & Zelda 25th Anniversaries )''. Kotaku. 28 January 2011.〕〔''(Games Inbox: Dark Souls preview, BioShock Infinite, and Duke Nukem's bust )''. Metro. 15 June 2011.〕 however to date there has been no official announcement on the matter from Nintendo.〔''History's Hidden Hardware: BS-X (Broadcast Satellaview) / 1995.'' Nintendo Power. No.225. February 2008. p.61〕 There has been much fan debate about whether or not the ''Zelda'' titles for the Satellaview (collectively known as the ''BS Zelda'' games) should be considered enhanced remakes or spin-off titles, whether or not their plots (different plots from the prior titles in 3 of the 4 Satellaview games) should be regarded as canonical or not, and if so where they should fit into the timeline of Zelda events.〔Duncan, Sean C. ''(Literary Implications of Online Fan Debates )''. Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association. March 24–28, 2008. p. 5.〕〔Sforcina, Mathew. ''(Ask 411Games 06.14.10 )''. 411Mania. 14 June 2010.〕〔Duncan, Sean C. and Gee, James Paul; Cuddy, Luke (ed). ''The Legend of Zelda and Philosophy'': Chapter 8 - "The Hero of Timelines". Pp 86-95. Open Court. 2008. ISBN 0-8126-9654-9.〕 ==''BS Zelda no Densetsu''== ''BS Zelda no Densetsu'' is an action-adventure game first broadcast to Satellaview owners in August 1995. It is the fifth game developed by Nintendo belonging to ''The Legend of Zelda'' series, but it does not feature Link, the protagonist of the prior four games. Instead it features the same main character that the player selects in the Satellaview game, ''BS-X'', and indeed the games are linked functionally and roughly through plot.〔Harper, Alison. (ed.). ''Super Express: New Zelda Hits Japan''. Super Play. Issue 35. Pp. 6-7. September 1995.〕 As such ''BS Zelda no Densetsu'', together with ''BS Zelda no Densetsu: MAP2'' and ''BS Zelda no Densetsu: Inishie no Sekiban'', is generally considered to be a spin-off title from the main ''Zelda'' series. Stylistically similar to the original top-down ''The Legend of Zelda'' for the NES, but utilizing the 16-bit graphical capabilities of the SNES, ''BS Zelda no Densetsu'' is also occasionally regarded as an enhanced remake of the original game.〔Simpson, Campbell. ''(The Legend of Zelda: a retrospective )''. PC World. Good Gear Guide. 18 November 2009.〕 This conception most likely arises from the superficial stylistic similarities of the games and the fact that the game is no longer playable in its original form and thus the differing plot of the game is more or less unknown to the general gaming public. The game's title derives the "BS" portion of its name from the Broadcast Satellite system through which the game was transmitted by the distributor, St.GIGA, to Satellaview owners between the date of the first broadcast (in August 1995) and the last broadcast (in January 1997). As the Satellaview's first SoundLink Game, broadcasts for ''BS Zelda no Densetsu'' were composed of both a discretely quantifiable portion of game code and a continually streaming vocal track. Employing the voices of voice actors, ''BS Zelda no Densetsu'' became the world's first integrated radio-game〔 and it marks the first time that a ''Zelda'' title released by Nintendo would utilize spoken dialog.〔 The game was broadcast a total of 5 times and several broadcasts were associated with special nationwide-contests and prizes. The game's popularity among Satellaview players prompted the development of ''BS Zelda no Densetsu: MAP2'' - a remixed version of ''BS Zelda no Densetsu'' providing a functional analog to the original ''The Legend of Zeldas "Second Quest." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Satellaview games from The Legend of Zelda series」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
