BS Zelda - Ancient Stone Tablets (Week 4) is one of those weird, obscure Zelda gems that never left Japan—unless you count emulation. It’s a SNES game that originally aired in episodes via satellite (yeah, satellite), and Week 4 is where things get properly Zelda-like. You’re dropped into a familiar-but-tweaked version of the original game’s map, with new dungeons, tougher enemies, and some sneaky puzzles that’ll make you double-check every suspicious-looking bush.

The controls feel just like Link to the Past, which is great, but don’t expect the same hand-holding. You’ll stumble into areas where you’re hilariously underprepared, and the game doesn’t care. That said, finding a new sword or finally cracking a dungeon’s trick after five failed attempts? Pure satisfaction. The whole thing’s wrapped in that classic SNES charm—chunky sprites, crunchy sound effects, and music that’ll stick in your head for days.

If you’ve played the original Zelda to death and want something that feels fresh but still nostalgic, this is worth digging up. Just bring patience—and maybe a walkthrough for the really cryptic bits.
