Talk:BS Zelda no Densetsu Kodai no Sekiban

message: The Shovel also got a makeover. While in ALttP it was merely a plot device, it could now be used to dig for Rupees.
>>>
If I recall you can also dig for Rupees in the original too...

replies: text: Um, I think that was only added in the GBA version (which comes after this game), as I remember being impressed by that change. However it's been a while since I've played the SNES version so I might be mistaken. GarrettTalk 07:12, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Isn't there some rule against just using abbreviations? I mean, that we should refer to the game as A Link to the Past every time? Lockeownzj00 19:41, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The way the rule is worded it's talking about technical abbreviations like e.g., i.e., etc., and whatever else. A Link to the Past is a loooooong thing to write out 50 times over, and it just makes it easier to read. You'll also find this sort of shortening on Grand Theft Auto III and all sorts of other pages. It seems to be pretty widely accepted, as long as the reader is informed of it before it is first used. Anway, I believe the official rules are somewhere in the Wikipedia:Disambiguation and abbreviations mess. Enjoy. :) GarrettTalk 23:42, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

message: I think this game should be moved to a different section besides remakes. This isn't a remake, but it takes place in the world of a Link to the Past. I'm not sure about its direct prequel though, which took place in the original Zelda's world, but it was more of a Third Quest than a remake.
:I'd say this is definitely similar enough to qualify as a remake.  Also, please sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~). Jeff Silvers 16:13, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: A remake? But it's a follow-up to Triforce of the Gods, and it takes place at around the same time as Dreaming Island. For it to be a remake, the story would have to be retooled so that it was an alternate version of this. For a great example of sequels that are similar to their predecessors, check out Gunstar Heroes and Gunstar Super Heroes. Even though they are highly similar, the latter is not really a remake, and continues the storyline. You could say it was based on it, but a remake takes that to a whole new level, so I wouldn't use that term. 208.101.130.232 13:15, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Wouldn't this along with the other BS Zelda game be considered the very first online games ever made? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.54.155.41 (talk) 20:01, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The other BS Zelda-game is indeed the first online console game. This came later though, so this should only go into the other one. JackSparrow Ninja 20:08, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Online console gaming goes back earlier than 1995, when the BS-X add-on to the Super Famicom made its debut in Japan.  This is one instance where Sega beat Nintendo to the punch, releasing its Sega Channel in 1994.  For a $25.00 activation fee and about $14.95 USD per month, you would have access to their database of games via your cable TV connection.  Yes, you could argue that its not quite an "online" gaming system, but neither is the BS-X if you use that argument. --Brahman 19:47, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Also, XBAND was available for online console gaming on the Genesis and Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1994. --Brahman 03:31, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Is there any reason that isn't a copyright violation? Either way, I'd recommend that the article be rewritten to avoid it. (Unless, of course, the website took the text from Wikipedia. But somehow I doubt that.) —Gordon P. Hemsley→✉ 04:47, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: From the looks of it, I'd say it is taken from Wikipedia. Those spoiler warnings are identical to the ones Wikipedia used to use on articles like these. This article's history pretty much gives it away anyway. Haipa Doragon (talk • contributions) 12:38, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, well, I didn't look too much into it. I just noticed that I read the same thing twice, in two different places. The reason I doubted that the text came from Wikipedia originally was because I didn't think the website was still maintained. Did the author of the website add the link to the site to the article, or did somebody else? And is there anything that can be done to remove the text from the website? —Gordon P.
