The BS-Zelda Homepage is now a 3/4 year old, and I am proud that this page has a visitor number of over 10.000 until now. In my opinion this is much for a homepage. My intention I made this page was to bring the game to all of you who love Zelda, and to find people who are able to make patches and make it full playable like any other games. Thanks to Roto and all the other hackers at this place. Also many thanks to my friend and partner Matt, who gave this page a great, permanent place, to all the other people who are listed in the Hall of Fame, and especially to you, who play and enjoy this fantastic game. Strange is that Nintendo almost never leaved a word concerning Bs-Zelda or Sekiban (I e-mailed Nintendo a few times with pics and asked them some things we all want to know like Zelda- Allstars and so on, but didn't ever get a reply), perhaps they quarrel with St.Giga. Another good effect this page has, is that almost no big zelda site gets along without BS-Zelda, so this game becomes more and more public. In this sence I wish you all much fun with BS-Zelda and BS-Zelda Sekiban.
